Pedestrians

ESRA (E-Survey of Road users’ Attitudes) is a joint initiative of road safety institutes, research centres, public services, and private sponsors from all over the world. The aim is to collect and analyse comparable data on road safety performance, in particular road safety culture and behaviour of road users. The ESRA data are used as a basis for a large set of road safety indicators. These provide scientific evidence for policy making at national and international levels. The present report is based on the second edition of this global survey, which was conducted in 2018. In total this survey collected data from more than 35 000 road users across 32 countries. An overview of the ESRA initiative and the project-results is available on https://www.esranet.eu/. This thematic ESRA report on pedestrians describes the attitudes and opinions of this group of road users in 32 countries. It includes comparisons amongst the participating countries as well as results in relation to age and gender. The pedestrians’ aspects analysed in this thematic report cover: the frequency of walking, feeling of safety, the self-declared risky behaviour in traffic, self-declared accident involvement, and support for road safety policy measures.
