Abstract

Road safety in urban areas is considered to be one of the major problems our society faces nowadays, due to its social and economic impacts. The problem is more crucial when considering the case of vulnerable road users (e.g., pedestrians and motorcyclists). This paper discusses accidents in Greek urban areas, which involve vulnerable road users. The author describes the evolution of traffic accidents with vulnerable road users and then addresses measures for protection of vulnerable road users.
