Explaining the Safe Systems approach, Vishwam Jindal, Project Core Team, LDP India, mentioned, "Safe Systems is based on the basic premise that human error is inevitable but traffic fatalities and serious injuries are not. The Safe System approach requires a shift in responsibility from the people using roads to the people designing them. It is a systemic approach that integrates core management elements and action areas to create a safe mobility system."
A panel discussion discussed the implementation of the Safe Systems Approach through legislative changes especially in the context of the Motor Vehicles Amendment Bill 2017. The participants discussed the need for a shift in the mindset from the traditional 'rules of the road' approach to a more holistic and systemic approach. Nishant Bhaskar, Project Core Team, LDP India, said, "Instead of merely relying on public education, training, regulation and enforcement, other variables such as transport governance and planning, road design, and protective road infrastructure must be taken into account."
