<P><STRONG>Highlighting official figures showing that a third of road deaths in the European Union (EU) happen in collisions that involve a single motorized vehicle where the driver/rider and/or passengers are killed, but no other road users are involved, a new report published by the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) studies these single vehicle collisions (SVCs) and how to prevent them occurring.</STRONG></P> <P>The ETSC report reveals that nearly 7,300 road users died in 2015 in SVCs in the EU, with around 100,000 fatalities occurring over the last 10 years. Over 60% of deaths in SVCs occur on rural roads. Ensuring that the road design and speed limits are appropriate to the road’s function are two measures that are helping to reduce deaths in several European countries. The Netherlands, which has below average rates of death in SVCs, has committed to upgrading safety across the national road network with a focus on removing roadside obstacles and upgrading two star roads to three stars, based on the international EuroRAP safety standard system. Denmark also has high safety standards for rural roads with a lower general speed limit on them: 50mph (80km/h), compared with 56mph or 62mph (90km/h or 100km/h) in many other European countries.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>**원문보기</P> <P><A href=&quot;http://www.traffictechnologytoday.com/news.php?NewsID=84914&quot; target=_blank>http://www.traffictechnologytoday.com/news.php?NewsID=84914</A></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><IMG alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://cms.ukintpress.com/UserFiles/2_%20ETSC%20report%20infographic.png&quot; width=525 align=left height=713></P>
