Description

This is the third study in a series of annual surveys on road safety conducted since 1981.

Today is the study conducted on behalf of the Swedish Transport Administration.

The questions in the study include, for example, traffic behaviour and traffic patterns; attitudes to road safety and traffic rules, the relation between alcohol and traffic and child safety in traffic. Both motor traffic, bicycle and foot traffic is concerned. A total of 28 questions are used, including descriptive questions, estimation questions and attitude questions.
