Abstracts: The objectives of this review were as follows: to identify those publication in the worldwide literature on education, publicity and training in road safety that have been based on results of good research, and to come to conclusions applicable to the Australians context. The important relationship between performance and behavior to what a road user actually does on the road. In Australia and elsewhere, education, publicity have been most successful in modifying behavior when combined with laws that are themselves directly related to safety, and that strictly enforced. Other good results from education have come from efforts directed at high-risk and receptive groups such as children. Training of controlled groups such as the drivers of heavy vehicles appears to have given some good results. However, no methods of training for drivers or riders have consistently been shown to be better than others, and the result in general have been disappointing.
