regulatory evaluation

Studies evaluating the effectiveness of traffic-safety regulations broadly: before/after and policy-impact analyses, cost-benefit and outcome assessment of laws or standards, and cross-jurisdiction policy comparisons. The general METHOD of judging whether regulation works, NOT a specific policy domain such as speed limits (speed_management), DUI enforcement (dui_enforcement), distraction bans (distraction_laws), camera programs (automated_enforcement_cameras), or licensing (licensing_policy).
