Overview of the 62 proposed initiatives<br />
The Road Safety Comm<strong>is</strong>sion recommends 62 different initiatives to improve road safety during the twelve years to come.<br />
Some of the initiatives proposed are general recommendations, e.g. the proposals for improved databases, increased<br />
collaboration between various players, and collection of new knowledge. These types of activity are significant for the<br />
effectiveness of road safety efforts, but it <strong>is</strong> not possible to calculate their effect.<br />
Other recommendations are more specific in nature, and the effects and costs associated with such efforts have been<br />
calculated. Calculations show that together, these efforts will reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on Dan<strong>is</strong>h<br />
roads by at least 40 per cent. All efforts with calculations are l<strong>is</strong>ted in blue in the l<strong>is</strong>t below.<br />
1. Electronic media campaigns on speeding, drink-driving, and seatbelts<br />
2. Road user organ<strong>is</strong>ation and other organ<strong>is</strong>ations must be included in dialogues with individual road users<br />
3. Road safety must be accorded greater emphas<strong>is</strong> in county/municipal planning<br />
4. Citizens are to be motivated to participate in local road safety efforts<br />
5. Local action plans for road safety within all local authorities<br />
6. Local road safety committees<br />
7. Improvements in the quality of driving instruction, including improved regulations for the training of driving<br />
instructors<br />
8. Nationwide road safety campaigns combined with police checks<br />
9. Greater fines for driving without wearing a seatbelt<br />
10. Consider whether the exemptions from seatbelt usage should continue to apply to certain professional groups<br />
11. Surveys of seatbelt wearing<br />
12. Road safety must be included in everyday activities at daycare centres and schools<br />
13. Road safety must be included in the curricula at colleges of education<br />
14. Efforts to make more parents walk or cycle with their children to their daycare centre or school. Th<strong>is</strong> initiative<br />
includes efforts to promote use of reflector tabs, etc., on clothing<br />
15. Efforts directed against high-r<strong>is</strong>k driving among young men<br />
16. Information and training on r<strong>is</strong>ky driving<br />
17. Consider the introduction of a ‘points scheme’ for driving licences, particularly aimed at getting young men to drive<br />
more safely<br />
18. Prepare the traffic system for far greater numbers of elderly road users<br />
19. Enterpr<strong>is</strong>e plans for road safety<br />
20. Guidelines for enterpr<strong>is</strong>es on enterpr<strong>is</strong>e plans for road safety<br />
21. Road safety audits<br />
22. Safety improvements of roads in the countryside<br />
23. Better road lighting<br />
24. Restructuring of ‘grey’ road areas<br />
25. Draw on good international research results - and consider comparative studies of road safety efforts in various<br />
countries<br />
