The current road transport system

2008-11-02 Swedish Road Administration Major mismatch between components of the system Trade-off between health and benefits allowed Unclear responsibilities Unclear safety philosophy Weak driving forces for change 4

2008-11-02 Swedish Road Administration History On October 9, 1997 the Road Traffic Safety Bill founded on "Vision Zero" was passed by a large majority in the Swedish Parliament. This represents an entirely new way of thinking with respect to road traffic safety. Goal The long term goal is that no-one shall be killed or seriously injured within the Swedish road transport system. VISION ZERO : A SAFE TRAFFIC CONCEPT 5

Vision Zero ≠ Zero Fatalities (At least not only) Vision Zero = 5 dimensions (or more?)

Vision for many stakeholder

2008-11-02 Swedish Road Administration Traffic safety is a shared responsibility for many stakeholders A joint vision is a powerful tool to focus the work A vision sets out a future desired situation - not a step by step action with no definition of it’s end point 7

Ethical platform

2008-11-02 Swedish Road Administration Human life and health is paramount Life and health can not, in the long run, be traded against other benefits Mobility is a function of the safety level 8

Shared responsibility

2008-11-02 Swedish Road Administration Historically main responsibility on the road user In Vision Zero the responsibility is shared between road users and system designers 9

Shared responsibility

2008-11-02 Swedish Road Administration System designers are responsible for the design, operation and the use of the road transport system and are thereby responsible for the level of safety within the entire system. Road users are responsible for following the rules for using the road transport system set by the system designers. If the users fail to comply with these rules due to a lack of knowledge, acceptance or ability, the system designers are required to take the necessary further steps to counteract people being killed or injured. 10

System designers = everyone that influences the design, function and use of the road transport system

2008-11-02 Swedish Road Administration politicians community planners road managers municipal authorities vehicle manufacturers transport companies and everyone who professionally uses roads and streets police rescue forces occupational health and safety authorities and more 11
