The Institute of Transport Economics regularly updates the Norwegian road traffic risk figures. Estimates for the years 2005-2007 show that road traffic risk has been reduced compared to previous years. Risk levels have decreased over time for all road user groups in Norway, but the reductions are stronger for motorcyclists. Nevertheless, bicyclists, pedestrians and car occupants have also experienced substantial risk reductions over time. The distribution of risk according to both age and gender is fairly stable within each road user group. There are substantial risk reductions for older road users, especially as car drivers and pedestrians. When the injury risks of car drivers and passengers are distributed according to day of the week and time of day, we find that injury risks are extremely high on Saturday nights.
