Where do crashes with trucks or delivery vans take place?

Answer

Trucks

As mobility data by road type are unavailable, it is impossible to determine the fatality rate by road type. Therefore, we only mention the number of registered road deaths by road type. Figure 3 shows that, for all road types, road deaths among crash opponents of trucks outnumber road deaths among truck occupants. Most road deaths among crash opponents occur on provincial roads (an annual average of 20), followed by urban 50km/h roads and national roads (an annual average of 16 and 14 respectively). Most road deaths among truck occupants occur on national roads (an annual average of 4).

Delivery vans

Figure 4 shows that for delivery vans differences between crash locations and casualties among occupants or crash opponents are less marked. The main exception concerns urban 50km/h roads, where the number of road deaths among crash opponents (an annual average of 13) is much higher than among delivery van occupants (an annual average of 1). Most road deaths among delivery van occupants occur on provincial roads and on national roads (an annual average of 4-5 deaths), while most road deaths among crash opponents occur on urban 50 km/h roads.
