Danish travel surveys show that Danes walk fewer and fewer kilometers; hence, the injury rate for pedestrians has remained almost unchanged since 1980. Results are presented from a comparison study on road safety, modal split, demography, and so forth in 47 Danish cities. A result from the study is that modal choice of the urban population does not correlate with the number of urban road injuries per inhabitant. Combining travel surveys and crash figures points out high-risk road users. New studies are presented on the safety effect for pedestrians of audible warning devices, road lighting, and speed of motorized transport. Lastly, a literature study reviews the effect for pedestrians of 19 safety measures.
