ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on traffic issues as a way of considering the broader issues in relation to working collaboratively to improve health within a context in which a very wide range of roles are involved in the promotion of public health. It is concerned with an issue that affects us all, but raises questions about effective policies and collaboration. The chapter intends to raise health issues that increasingly have been linked to pollution created by motor car traffic. It point outs that the harm caused by the scale of motor car traffic has largely been ignored in public health, whilst other prescriptions about people's health choices have dominated the public health agenda, and investment of public money. The chapter invites the readers to recognise their learning from previous reading and practice, build upon it and challenge the previously learned modes of thinking and theories about how to use work experience and strengthen the ways that are deemed useful and productive.
