Abstract

The effects on accidents of reduced use of studded tyres in five Norwegian cities have been evaluated. The five cities are Oslo, Drammen, Stavanger, Bergen and Trondheim. The study period is from 1.1.2002 until 31.8.2009. Except for the city of Stavanger, the use of studded tyres has been reduced in all cities. It is estimated that this has caused a 2 percent increase in the number of injury accidents. The number of property damage accidents is almost unchanged. The results are highly consistent with those of a previous study, reported in 2000. (Author/publisher) For the complete report see http://www.toi.no/
