Abstract
Part VII of study into traffic accidents in the province of Noord Brabant road and traffic characteristics are compared with those of the other part of the Netherlands. Due to the fact that in 1977 an inventarization was made of these characteristics for the research of bicycle provisions outside built-up areas, these data were used as starting points. Significant deviations were found in the absence of bicycle's provisions and the presence of more obstacles in a shorter distance of the road.
