Risk levels have decreased over time for all road user groups in Norway, but the reductions are stronger for motorcyclists.
Nevertheless, bicyclists, pedestrians and car occupants have also experienced substantial risk reductions over time.
The distribution of risk according to both age and gender is fairly stable within each road user group. There are substantial risk reductions for older road users, especially as car drivers and pedestrians.
When the injury risks of car drivers and passengers are distributed according to day of the week and time of day, we find that injury risks are extremely high on Saturday nights.
