According to a decision by the Riksdag in 2009, the number of fatalities on the roads should be halved between 2007 and 2020. This is equivalent to a maximum of 220 fatalities in 2020.The number of those seriously injured on the roads is to be reduced by a quarter. In 2012 a review of targets and indicators was conducted to ensure that targets and follow-up methods are always as relevant and updated as possible. The review was based on the new interim target on EU level of halving the total number of fatalities on the roads between 2010 and 2020.This would correspond to a more stringent interim target of maximum 133 fatalities in 2020. Any such adjustment to the Swedish target level has not been decided, and the interim target of maximum 220 fatalities applies. However, the indicator structure was adjusted in 2012. This report describes and analyses road safety trends on the basis of the number of fatalities and injured and on ten indicators. (Author/publisher)
