The present knowledge of variations in road safety between different types and designs of urban junctions is insufficient, especially in the case of pedestrians and cyclists. The aim of the study was to obtain better information, accident prediction models and effects of countermeasures in order to select appropriate road safety actions. This is especially desirable with regard to unprotected road users. The project also aims at developing PC-based registers for data acquisition, together with simple analysis programmes. The study has been made possible through the support of 35 municipalities who made an inventory of data on junction design, traffic volume (number of motor vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists) and accidents for a sample of junctions.
