Samenvatting
A new vision, called `sustainable road safety', has been introduced recently in The Netherlands, hopefully leading to roads and streets with risk rates which are considerably lower than today. The vision forms an essential part of the Dutch road safety policy today. The principles of this approach will be presented together with the state-of-the-art of introducing and implementing these principles in practice. Special emphasis is put on traffic calming and on the application of new technologies fitting in this vision.
