A series of measures were carried out in the municipalities of Eindhoven and Rijswijk, in two residential areas, each with an area of about 100 hectares, with the following aims: (1) to separate traffic zones from residential zones; (2) within these residential areas to avert the non-destination traffic, to limit the speed of traffic and to redesign the road network and its environment in the residential area into a woon-erf; and (3) within the traffic zones, to segregate the transport modes in such a way as to make the traffic safe for pedestrians and cyclists to cross. In the report the effects of the measures on the number of injury accidents and victims are presented. During a short after period (14 months) it was found that the number of accidents involving injury and of victims in the residential zones dropped.
