Which is NOT part of the 5 E's Approach to Road Safety Management?

The correct option is that equipment is not typically recognized as one of the five E’s in the approach to road safety management. The five E’s that are usually included are Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Engineering, and Emergency response.

Education primarily focuses on teaching road users about safe practices, traffic laws, and the consequences of unsafe behaviors. Similarly, Enforcement refers to the implementation and policing of traffic regulations to deter violations. Encouragement aims to promote safe driving behaviors through positive reinforcement and community engagement.

While adequate equipment can play a role in road safety—such as safer vehicles or improved road infrastructure— it does not fall under the conceptual framework of the five E’s. The focus of the five E’s is on behavioral and structural approaches to improving road safety rather than the tools and equipment used in these processes.
