Results have been less satisfactory for vulnerable road users, however, there has been a reduction of only a third in pedestrian and cyclist fatalities over the last decade.

In Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands, the rate in terms of fatalities per 100 000 population has been divided by more than six.
