Social Attitudes to Road Traffic Risk in Europe is a European wide survey, started in 1991, that collects information on mobility, risk perceptions, attitudes, behaviours and experiences on our roads. Previously focused on car drivers, this latest survey, SARTRE 4, has been expanded to include car drivers, powered two wheelers and other road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users. 21 280 people were surveyed in 19 countries through face-to-face surveys. The results give a valuable insight into public perception of road safety and the opportunity to compare behaviours and experiences in different countries. Some national characteristics and challenges are discussed in the full SARTRE 4 report that can be downloaded at http://www.attitudes-roadsafety.eu. This information can help policy-makers to identify measures that could improve safety for citizens through European or National road safety programmes. This summary report aims to give an overview of some of the key findings and conclusions from SARTRE 4. (Author/publisher) For more information see http://www.attitudes-roadsafety.eu/
