How do we tackle the problem?

The most effective way to tackle the problem is by the problem oriented approach known as SARA. (Scanning, Analysis, Response and Assessment)


  • Scanning
  • Firstly identify the problem, in this case excess speed. Identify the extent of the problem, where, when, and who, is causing the problem.


  • Analysis
  • Gather all the information, i.e. who is being affected, by whom, where and when.


  • Response
  • Once all the information has been gathered, consider what action is required. It may be that the problem is being caused by local factory staff, in which case educating the staff may resolve the problem. You could consider the distribution of speed reduction posters, or involve local media to highlight the problem.


  • Assessment
  • It is important to monitor what was actually done to address the problem, to evaluate if the response worked.
