English title: The black spot program in Flanders : an effect evaluation. In an attempt to work to a better traffic safety in Flanders and reach the goals of the decrease in numbers of severely and deadly injured, the Flemish Government decided in 2002 to select the most dangerous spots in Flanders and adapt their infrastructure. Spots were selected on the basis of the number and severity of injured as a consequence of traffic crashes in Flanders during three consecutive years. The black spot program is still running, however already a lot of spots have been adapted. The Flemish Minister of Mobility and Public Works commissioned the Policy Research Centre Mobility & Public Works, track Traffic Safety to evaluate the effectiveness of those adapted spots on traffic safety.
