1. Roadway safety focus on unprotected road users - pedestrians and cyclists International Partnership Meeting January 13-14, 2016 Per Andersson

2. Change of position

3. Traffic fatalities in Sweden - by road user category, 2006-2014 Car driver Car passengers Motorcyclists Moped riders Cyclists Pedestrians Other

4. Traffic fatalities and severely injured in Sweden - by road user category Pedestrians Cyclists Moped riders Motorcyclists Car drivers & pass. Other Severely injured Fatalities

5. Cyclists killed in Sweden by type of accident Fatalities All FatalitiesCycle – Motor vehicleCycle – Truck/ Bus Cycle – Motor vehicle Cycle – Single Cycle – Cycle Cycle – Moped Cycle – Pedestrian Cycle – Train Cycle – Tractor Cycle – Car/ MC Cycle – Truck/ bus Right turn Cycle – Truck/ bus Other

10. Swedish National strategy for increased and safer cycling  To be published in May 2016  In cooperation with authorities, municipalities, cycling associations and other stakeholders  Thematic groups road user groups cycle in sustainable community planning operation, maintenance and design of infrastructure Innovations and research

11. National Building Regulations on Roads and Rail Minimum Requirements regarding  Mechanical resistance and stability  Safety in case of fire  Safety in use  Hygiene, health and the environment  Protection against noise

12. Research; Local unevenness of roads and streets  When does a local roughness changes from being a comfort problem to become a safety hazard  How to measure the local unevenness Simulator study Interviews crowd source data deep studies …

13. Research; Accidents due to falling pedestrians  Four out of ten people seriously injured in the transport system = falling pedestrians.  What´s the cause for these types of accidents?  Lack of maintenance alone or do we have (deliberately) embedded "trip hazards" in our road infrastructure?  Infrastructure requirements on roughness with regard to “trip hazards” for pedestrians
