The World Health Organization has released a Road Safety Manual for decision-makers and practitioners concerning Powered Two-and Three-Wheeler (PTW) Safety.
This Manual describes the magnitude of PTW death and injury; key risk factors; ways of assessing the PTW safety situation in a given setting and preparing an action plan; and how to select, design, implement and evaluate effective interventions.
The Manual also stresses the importance of a comprehensive, holistic approach that includes engineering, legislation and enforcement measures, as well as behavioural changes.

The European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) has published a Position Paper titled The European Union’s Role in Promoting the Safety of Cycling, containing proposals for a safety component in a future EU Cycling Strategy, authored by Ellen Townsend. 

This paper builds on recent calls for the European Commission to come forward with a cycling strategy for the European Union and ETSC supports the need for co-ordinated European action on cycling and welcomes a pan-European strategy. This Position Paper is designed to serve as inspiration for the safety component of such a strategy and will look at initiatives within these different areas of action of relevance to cyclist safety.
