Sammendrag

The number of killed or seriously injured road user can be signficantly reduced by using 33 road safety measures to the maximum extent. The number of fatalities (106 in 2017) can be reduced to 40-60 in 2024 and 2030. The number of seriously injured road users (665 in 2017) can be reduced to 300-390 in 2024 and 2030. A target of not more than 500 killed or seriously injured road users in 2024 seems attainable. A target of not more than 350 killed or seriously injured road users in 2030 seems to be out of reach. Falls among pedestrians can be reduced by 20-30 % by improving winter maintenance of roads.
