The report describes a road safety impact assessment that has been made for Norway as part of transport planning for the term 2010-2019. A target has been set for reducing the number of road accident fatalities by 50 % in 2020 compared to the annual mean number during 2003-2006 (from 250 to 125 fatalities per year). Analysis of the prospects for improving road safety by means of various measures shows that this target may be difficult to realise. (Author/publisher)
