Dynamics with Responsibility
Road Safety Programme 2002-2010
Austrian government introduced RSP in 2002
RSP contains extensive catalogue of measures to increase road safety
28 priority areas with more than 100 specific measures
Annual potential reductions are given where possible
Implementation of measures began in 2002
„Start package“ was finished at the end of 2003
Constant evaluation
Dynamics with Responsibility
Vision:
Every death and serious injury resulting from traffic accidents
is one too many
Targets until 2010:
minus 50 % fatalities
minus 20 % injury accidents
