The report is a summary of two studies of accident rates on Norwegian road sections and junctions. The studies show that: main roads with a high standard have lower accident rates than collector roads and much lower rates than access roads; accident rates in suburban areas are lower than in urban areas (i.e. city centers); 3-way junctions perform far better than 4-ways; roundabouts are the best type of junction from a traffic safety point of view; low speed limits and pedestrian facilities have a positive effect on road safety, but fail to remove the impact of poor road and environmental standards.
