Effective Trigger Speeds for Vehicle Activated Signs on 20 mph Roads in Rural Areas (2024)
Journal Article
Olowosegun, A., Fountas, G., & Davis, A. (2024). Effective Trigger Speeds for Vehicle Activated Signs on 20 mph Roads in Rural Areas. Safety, 10(1), Article 25. https://doi.org/10.3390/safety10010025

This paper aims to offer novel empirical evidence as to the identification of the most effective Trigger Speeds (TS) for Vehicle-Activated Signs (VAS) in rural areas. To achieve this, an experimental study was carried out in the area of Scottish Bord... Read More about Effective Trigger Speeds for Vehicle Activated Signs on 20 mph Roads in Rural Areas.

Motonormativity: how social norms hide a major public health hazard (2023)
Journal Article
Walker, I., Tapp, A., & Davis, A. (2023). Motonormativity: how social norms hide a major public health hazard. International Journal of Environment and Health, 11(1), 21-33. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJENVH.2023.135446

Decisions about motor transport, by individuals and policy-makers, show unconscious biases due to cultural assumptions about the role of private cars-a phenomenon we term motonormativity. To explore this claim, a national sample of 2157 UK adults rat... Read More about Motonormativity: how social norms hide a major public health hazard.

Assessing the Impact of 20 mph Speed Limits on Vehicle Speeds in Rural Areas: The Case of the Scottish Borders (2023)
Journal Article

Motor traffic reduction: A road to be travelled (2023)
Journal Article
Davis, A. (2023). Motor traffic reduction: A road to be travelled. Journal of Transport and Health, 33, Article 101688. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jth.2023.101688

Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are the eighth-leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 1.35 million deaths each year (Road Safety, 2022). Vehicle speed is a major contributory factor in many road traffic deaths and life changing injuries. It is... Read More about Motor traffic reduction: A road to be travelled.

Walking and Cycling: latest evidence to support policy-making and practice (2022)
Report
Götschi, T., Davis, A., & Racioppi, F. (2022). Walking and Cycling: latest evidence to support policy-making and practice. Bonn, Germany: WHO Europe

Active travel modes, especially walking and cycling, are now recognized by many as modes that are fully equal to other urban transport modes, integrated in planning frameworks, and adopted as part of the mainstream – not just in trailblazer countries...

Equality of restraint: Reframing road safety through the ethics of private motorised transport (2020)
Journal Article
Davis, A. L., & Obree, D. (2020). Equality of restraint: Reframing road safety through the ethics of private motorised transport. Journal of transport & health, 19, Article 100970. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jth.2020.100970

Background
Motoring is an emancipation. It is both an individual freedom and a collective freedom with car ownership at 30, 491, 000 vehicles by 2019 in Great Britain. Yet, as the evidence of the impacts of road transport accumulates and the health... Read More about Equality of restraint: Reframing road safety through the ethics of private motorised transport.

Background: Opportunities for working adults to accumulate recommended physical activity levels (at least 150min of moderate intensity physical activity in bouts of at least 10 min throughout the week) may include the commute to work. Systematic revi... Read More about Evaluation of an intervention to promote walking during the commute to work: a cluster randomised controlled trial.

How commuting affects subjective wellbeing (2019)
Journal Article
Clark, B., Chatterjee, K., Martin, A., & Davis, A. (2020). How commuting affects subjective wellbeing. Transportation, 47, 2777–2805. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11116-019-09983-9

Commuting between home and work is routinely performed by workers and any wellbeing impacts of commuting will consequently affect a large proportion of the population. This paper presents findings from analyses of the impact of commuting (time and mo... Read More about How commuting affects subjective wellbeing.

Vicious or virtuous circles? Exploring the vulnerability of drivers to break low urban speed limits (2016)
Journal Article
Tapp, A., Nancarrow, C., Davis, A., & Jones, S. (2016). Vicious or virtuous circles? Exploring the vulnerability of drivers to break low urban speed limits. Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 91, 195-212. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tra.2016.06.007

Levels of support for 20 mph limits in Great Britain are consistently high. However, these positive attitudes are not translating into similarly positive behaviour changes in terms of complying with these new speed limits.Recent research from the aut...
