Abstract
This annual report contains a description and analysis of road traffic and accident data in 1988 compared with the expected values based on the trends for the period 1983- 1987, and in comparison with the actual data for this period.It was concluded that the relative safety, measured as the number of road deaths and in- patients per kilometre travelled, had improved in 1988. This applied to each category of road user except motorcyclists and pedestrians. Motorcyclists now have the highest death rate, close followed by moped riders.
