SUMMARY Road insecurity remains a major concern, especially in developing countries. In the face of increasing road traffic claims, not only as a result of population growth and rapid urbanisation in these countries, which escape control, road governance sometimes leaves something to be desired. Like most developing countries, Benin still faces difficulties in mastering road safety management despite [...]

The fact that wildlife-related accidents is a widely recognised problem does not mean that we know its true magnitude. In fact, we know little about the wildlife mortality generated by road traffic depending on the distances travelled, nor do we know which are the most dangerous roads and therefore those where action should be taken. Consequently, it has been analysed the particular case of Galicia, [...]

Due to the limitations on the time and cost of the construction of expressways in Japan, two-lane roads without a median barrier were introduced as a temporary measure in sections with low traffic volumes. As the service life of these temporary two-lane roads was extended, fatal accidents due to head-on collisions and other problems arose. Wire rope barriers have thin posts and require only a narrow [...]

The trend of past research that cycling accidents decrease over time - similar to motor vehicle traffic accidents - cannot be confirmed when looking at more recent accident data. Cycling accidents in Germany and especially non-urban cycling accidents, which often have more severe consequences than intra-urban accidents, have been stagnating at too high a level for a few years. This is to be credited [...]

Current statistics show an increased risk of accidents, especially for vulnerable road users (VRU). On the one hand, this is due to current mobility trends e.g. towards two-wheelers (incl. pedelecs and e-scooters) which are increasingly in conflict with motor vehicle traffic. On the other hand, there is hardly any data available that serves as indicator for dangerous situations (such as near-accidents, [...]
