SUNflower+6: development and application of a footprint methodology for the SUNflower+6 countries
A methodology has been developed, which for each country results in a 'road safety footprint' showing the state of the art on road safety. The road safety footprint is based upon the different levels of 'the safety pyramid' which underpins the SUNflower methodology. As a result a footprint gives a representation of the road safety status and development over time in a country, which can be used for benchmarking. At this stage, the proposed methodology is considered as a first step in the definition of an overall methodology, which may eventually grow into a widespread tool for benchmarking road safety. Based on the available data, safety trends and disaggregate outcomes have been analysed for the SUNflower+6 countries, to get a deeper understanding of footprint outcomes. It was found that in the SUN countries the decline of safety risk started early and led to a low risk level per kilometre travelled. There is reason to believe that the more attention is given to road safety, the more this is translated in safety actions. And the more actions are taken in various areas of safety, the more safety is improving in the SUNflower+6 countries.
