摘要: |
Accidents involving pedestrians in Greece represent the 22 per cent of the total number of road accidents while the percentage of pedestrians killed or injured represents the 13 per cent of the total number of persons killed or injured. In Athens Metropolitan Area 21 per cent of the total number of accidents refer to pedestrian accidents while in Thessaloniki Metropolitan Area the respective percentage is in the area of 22 per cent. Accidents involving motorcycles represent about 40 per cent of all road accidents. Specific measures in order to reduce the number of accidents were taken by the authorities and a significant number of studies concerning road safety took place in the country during the last decade. Emphasis is put on all three components of road safety (drivers, vehicles, road). Since the majority of pedestrian accidents take place at major arterial streets, priority must also be put to improve the safety level at these road sections. The establishment of the National Committee for Road Safety in 1999 was a basic step towards the overall improvement of the safety level in the country.
