A paper titled ‘Investigation of the Impact of Low Cost Engineering Measures on Road Safety in Urban Areas‘ co-authored by G.Yannis, A.Kondyli and X.Georgopoulou is now published in International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion. This paper investigates the impact of low cost traffic engineering measures (LCTEMs) on the improvement of road safety in urban areas. A number of such measures were considered, such as speed humps, woonerfs, raised intersections and other traffic calming measures, which have been implemented on one-way, one-lane roads in the Municipality of Neo Psychiko in the Greater Athens Area. The application of the methodology showed that the total number of crashes presented a statistically significant reduction, which can be possibly attributed to the introduction of LCTEMs.
