2025 Traffic Safety Culture Index
This report provides an overview of the cultural environment of driving in the United States, explores drivers’ perceptions of road safety, and examines links between perceived neighborhood driving behaviors, self-appraisals of behavior and abilities, and perceived social stress on self-reported engagement in risky driving behaviors. Similar to previous Traffic Safety Culture Index reports, this edition should be a useful reference for researchers, practitioners, and traffic safety advocates to gain a better understanding of people’s perceptions and attitudes towards risky driving behaviors, to identify relevant issues, and to develop corresponding countermeasures.
