Abstract
The secondary and tertiairy road network in the Netherlands was studied on the safety on junctions. Data were collected on characteristics of location, traffic and accident on a sample of ± 5% of the road network. The safety is elaborated in the quotient of accidents and the use of these junctions. As a typology in the classification of junctions the RONA specifications are used. Although the sample does not permit a detailed analysis it is indicated that T- junctions and junctions with four intersection legs constructed following these specifications are significantly more safe.
