Even though road safety has improved in recent years, accidents remain a serious problem on European roads – on average 75 people lose their lives every day and 750 are seriously injured. Vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians, cyclists, motorbike and moped riders represent a particularly serious safety concern, since they account for a disproportionately high percentage of the total number of road fatalities and serious injuries.
