Samenvatting
Switzerland recorded 187 road fatalities in 2019, representing a 19.7% year-on-year decrease. The recent proliferation of e-bikes has caused safety concerns in Switzerland. The current national road safety strategy (Via Sicura) was evaluated in 2017. Four measures, in particular, contributed towards a substantial decrease in the number of road casualties: the ban on alcohol for new and professional drivers, the compulsory use of daytime running lights, legislation governing extreme speeding offenders and certain infrastructure measures.
