Problematic Speed for road safety.
Specifically: Excessive speed, that is to say driving at a speed higher than the maximum permitted speed as well as Inappropriate speed, which is defined as driving at excessively high speeds given the traffic situation, infrastructure, weather conditions and/or other special circumstances. Speed is one of the most important causes of road accidents: 10-15% of all road traffic collisions and 30% of fatal injury collisions are the direct result of excessive or inappropriate speed.

An increase in speed by 10 km/h leads to a risk of a fatality of 220% of the initial event, i.e. the risk has more than doubled.

The implementation of infrastructure projects and the identification and rehabilitation of dangerous points on the road network is one of the strategic axes of the RSI.

In a E-77 road axis part, in particular in an area of 4 km of the Chalkida-Psahna road, there has been a high rate of fatal road traffic collisions over the last 20 years due to problematic speed.

The aim of this project was the design of interventions related to infrastructure in order to improve road safety by enabling drivers to control their behaviour.

The road safety challenge is motorists parking their vehicle on footpaths and cycle lanes, blocking access for pedestrians, cyclists, pushchairs and those with reduced mobility. This leads to vulnerable road users such as wheelchair users, the visually impaired, people with buggies, children and older pedestrians not having adequate room to walk safely, potentially forcing them out onto the road. Parking in cycle lanes forces cyclists out into mainstream traffic, where there is an increased risk of a collision occurring.

I feel proud because I managed to write a book starting with my Hero who returns to Rhodes who meets his friends, operators, the Prime Minister of his country to talk about the human lives that are lost in the streets and with the aim of being read and for its readers to know the causes of traffic accidents, for my country, for the Strategic Road Safety Improvement Plan in Greece, for Europe, for World Victims' Remembrance Day, for supporting victims and everything about traffic accidents and how they can be reduced.

Professional Cyclist Imogen Cotter Launches new safety campaign with the RSA and Škoda Ireland

Professional Cyclist Imogen Cotter Launches new safety campaign with the RSA and Škoda Ireland A new RSA report shows that for every one person killed while cycling, there were 25 seriously injured*. 9% of people seriously injured while cycling was a result of a hit and run incident. ‘Failure to observe’ by other drivers was their most frequently noted action (38%) in collisions where people who cycle were seriously injured.

In 2018, an analysis of the causes of road crashes involving pedestrians in the voivodship Małopolskie in Poland found that 68% of such crashes occurred in the vicinity of pedestrian crossings. The Małopolska Voivodship Police Headquarters in Cracow undertook a detailed assessment of the illumination of and road markings at pedestrian crossings for the whole region. The study identified a large number of deficiencies, especially related to illumination. The official statistics confirmed the high risk for pedestrians on pedestrian crossings.
