Not only is this a tragedy for all concerned, also from an economical point of view this leads to an awesome loss of (human) capital. Even when facing economic growth and a rapid increase of motorisation, a reduction of fatalities and injuries can be reached through effective road safety policies.

In the last 40 years, the Netherlands established a leading position in the field of road safety, to such an extent, that their mortality rate in traffic has become one of the lowest in the world. This is the result of an integral approach, in which science, research, road engineering, enforcement and governmental policy have all played their part. The main result is that over a period of 40 years in spite of a tripling of traffic, the number of fatalities declined by over 75%.
