Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety and Mobility in Europe

Pedestrian and bicyclist deaths accounted for 14 percent of U.S. highway fatalities in 2008. The Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored an international scanning study of five European countries to identify and assess effective approaches to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety and mobility.

The international scan team gathered information on strategies and approaches in the areas of engineering, education, enforcement, encouragement, and evaluation. The team learned that many of the countries studied have established an urban street user hierarchy that gives the highest priority to walking, biking, and public transit. View Resource
