Samenvatting

Almost 10.500 people were killed in road traffic accidents at junctions in 18 EU member states in 1999, and the number fell by 30% by 2008. Figure 1 shows that slightly more than 20% of fatalities occurred at junctions throughout the decade, so the trend in junction accident fatalities broadly followed the trend in all fatalities. Statistics related to junction accidents need to be treated carefully due to the presence of a high proportion of "unknown" entries in certain countries. The following countries had at least 10% of “unknown” entries between 1999 and 2008: IE (82%), SE (41%), DE (39%) and AT (27%). Table 1 shows the annual data for individual countries. Note that for certain countries the actual numbers are somewhat higher than the reported numbers because for a significant number of accidents it is unknown whether or not they occurred at a junction. The number of fatalities reported for 2008 for the 22 countries in Table 1 is 7.242, but it is estimated that when account is taken of “unknown” entries then the actual number is 8.305.
