Samenvatting
The draft for the new traffic regulations is examined from the point of view of traffic safety. It is important to know if the modifications contribute to making road user behaviour safer. The knowledge of and ideas on the correlation between legislation, road user behaviour and traffic safety are studied. The effectiveness of the new legislation as regards road user behaviour depends on (1) the way in which the new legislation will be incorporated in other measures like education, training and testing of road users, (2) the way in which the new legislation will be used by the road administrator, and (3) the way in which other measures, such as police surveillance and enforcement, will be attuned to the new legislation.
