Abstract:
Road traffic injuries in Nepal are increasing despite being largely preventable. Little evidence exists regarding the barriers and facilitators to a safer road system. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of professionals whose jobs had the potential to influence road safety in Nepal regarding challenges and potential solutions. Semi-structured interviews with eight informants from diverse roles were analysed thematically. Three themes were identified: Modifying behaviours of road users; Road planning, construction and maintenance; and the Governance of roads and traffic. All participants considered the primary cause of crashes to be the negligent behavior of the road users, suggesting that improved knowledge would influence their decisions. Poor road design, building and maintenance, together with poor vehicle standards, and lack of investment and enforcement of existing road safety legislation, needed to be addressed through greater coordination of the agencies. The study identified a range of areas for future inquiry and action.
