Introduction
In September 1973, a central body, the Standing Conference on Road Safety (SCRS), was established to coordinate road safety activities in Hong Kong. In January 1983, SCRS evolved into the Road Safety Council that serves Hong Kong today.
With the support of two sub-committees and one working group, the Council coordinates all road safety activities in Hong Kong. These range from involving the different departments concerned, promoting education, publicity and community initiatives, studying road engineering solutions, as well as dealing with traffic management, legislation and law enforcement. We also ensure the optimum use of resources and make sure that there will be no oversight of good initiatives. Additionally, we formulate road safety strategies, working to reduce the number of traffic accidents in Hong Kong.
