This report contains an evaluation of the effectiveness of quantified road safety targets. A quantified road safety target is any numerical target set by national or local governments for the reduction of the number of people who are killed or injured in road traffic accidents. As an example, Sweden has set a target of not more than 270 road accident fatalities in 2007. This report examines the effectiveness of quantified road safety targets in improving road safety performance. The following questions are at the focus of the study: Are counties or local governments that have set quantified road safety targets more successful in bringing down the number of people killed in road accidents than countries or local governments that have not set such targets. Is every quantified road safety target associated with a more successful safety performance, or are some types of quantified targets more successful than others. What are the characteristics of the most successful quantified road safety targets.
