An analysis of safety problems at a junction in Halmstad, western Sweden, has been performed as part of the inter-Nordic project 'Cycle accidents at junctions, a method study'. The work was based on a method developed earlier in the project, where an analysis of accidents, videotaped road user behavior and more conventional measurements of traffic, such as composition and flows, is used to select appropriate road safety actions. After these measures had been introduced, a follow-up study in terms of conflict studies and changes in road user behavior was carried out. Road user interviews with motorists and cyclists were conducted both before and after the junction had been modified. The implemented measures proved to generate the planned effects on behavior as seen from videotapes.
