Road safety measures, e.g., speed limits, are widely used globally to prevent and reduce the number of road crashes, injuries, and fatalities. However, implementing such preventive measures has long-term and complex social, environmental, and economic interdependencies and impacts. Therefore, socio-economic appraisals of road safety measures are crucial for identifying such complex interdependencies and impacts on the well-being of individuals, society, the economy, and the environment. The study carries out a comprehensive review of the scientific literature dealing with socio-economic appraisal methodologies of road safety measures. The study comprehensively reviewed the scientific literature on socio-economic appraisal methodologies for road safety interventions. The review follows PRISMA guidelines for selecting scientific articles across Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. From 535 records identified on 18 January 2025, 80 studies (including grey and peer-reviewed articles in English) were selected. These studies are reviewed based on six themes, namely: (a) methodological frameworks of the methodologies, (b) classification, (c) key indicators, (d) datasets, (e) strengths, limitations, and biases, (f) stakeholders' involvement and impacts on policymaking. The review indicates that the existing socio-economic appraisal methodologies for road safety measures effectively capture specific dimensions, e.g., crash rate reduction, willingness-to-pay for road safety and improved social well-being. However, these methodologies also exhibit inconsistencies while accounting for factors like price inflation and replicability. The review identifies six methodological limitations that accentuate significant future research and innovation opportunities. The review also presents recommendations for future research to address the identified limitations.

道路安全措施（例如，限速）在全球范围内广泛使用，旨在预防和减少交通事故、伤害和死亡。然而，实施这些预防措施会产生长期且复杂的社会、环境和经济相互依赖关系及影响。因此，对道路安全措施进行经济社会评估对于识别其复杂的影响以及对个人福祉、社会、经济和环境的综合影响至关重要。该研究全面回顾了与道路安全措施经济社会评价方法相关的科学文献。本次审查遵循PRISMA指南，在Google Scholar、Scopus和Web of Science中筛选科学文章。在2025年1月18日确定的535篇记录中，最终选择了包括灰色文献和同行评审文章在内的80项研究（仅限英文）。这些研究基于六个主题进行审查：(a) 方法框架；(b) 分类；(c) 关键指标；(d) 数据集；(e) 优势、局限性和偏差；(f) 利益相关者的参与及其对政策制定的影响。审查表明，现有的道路安全措施经济社会评估方法能够有效捕捉特定维度（例如，事故率降低、为交通安全支付的意愿以及社会福祉提升）。然而，在考虑通货膨胀和可复制性等因素时，这些方法表现出一定的不一致性和局限性。该评审还确定了六种方法上的限制，突出了未来研究和创新的重要机会，并提出了应对所发现问题的未来研究建议。
