The forum was attended by over 30 participants, including three leading road safety academics and representatives from the public and private sectors and from civil society. The forum endeavored both to present the latest studies on the relationship between speed and road crashes and to provide a space for relevant stakeholders to exchange their views on how to effectively enforce urban speed control to improve safety and reduce traffic fatalities in Thailand.
