This study is based on a systematic literature review, reported according to PRISMA guidelines. The study examines the integration of traffic safety with broader SDGs (e.g., health, climate, equity, gender equality), focusing on a broader concept of traffic sustainability culture, encompassing SDG aspects. The study examines the alignment (or misalignment) of safety with sustainability goals in previous studies of mobility and traffic safety, defining traffic sustainability culture as shared ways of thinking and acting related to safety and sustainability in transport. The review is conducted from the perspective of the traffic safety SDG, focusing on traffic safety culture and traffic culture. Starting from about 2000 paper titles, the search identified relatively few studies, which includes several SDGs. Most of the studies focus on active mobility and (cultural) factors influencing mode choice, while some focus on drivers at work.
