Traffic-Calming Measures and Road Traffic Collisions and Injuries: A Spatiotemporal Analysis
American Journal of Epidemiology, 2023 Abstract Traffic-calming measures (TCMs) are physical modifications of the road network aimed at making the roads safer. Although researchers have reported reductions in numbers of road crashes and injuries tied to the presence of TCMs, such studies have been criticized for their pre-/post- designs.

Cardiac surgical theatre traffic: time for traffic calming measures? [PDF]
Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2010 Surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a significant cause of postoperative complications. The risk of death from a medical error in a UK hospital remains one in 300. Increased theatre traffic has been identified as a modifiable determinant of SSI and surgical error. This cross-sectional study for the first time describes the pattern of theatre traffic
