Road crash injury affects people around the
world. In communities, large and small, from
Europe to Africa to Asia and the Americas,

To strengthen the ability of the citizens and pro-
fessionals in the SOL communities to implement
effective road safety interventions, SOL has
developed an extensive training programme co-
vering issues ranging from road safety manage-
ment to child injury prevention. All courses fol-
low the same methodology. They are designed
for 2 days of training and include a mixture of
lecture, interactive workshops, quizzes and on-
road exercises. To support the SOL partners in
the delivery of the workshops, a train-the-trainer
workshop was held in Budapest in January 2012
to introduce the future trainers to the methodo-
logy and components of the courses. Two trai-
ners participated from of the 7 SOL implemen-
ting countries. Ms. Oanh Trinhto and Mr. Sovann

and their consequences. These initiatives
are often low-cost and fueled by the dedica-
tion of the individuals.
Kong, GRSP representatives from Cambodia
and Vietnam also participated in the course to
assess whether the SOL training programme
might be adapted to the South East Asia Region.
Oahn, who formerly worked at Vietnam Ministry
of Transport, noted that the training is very be-
neficial for the content: “This workshop helped
me learn how to run the different types of work-
shops efficiently and attractively for the target
audience.” Sovann who works with national
and local stakeholders added: “One of our key
strategies is to build institutional and personal
capacity on road safety. Therefore this training
was beneficial to me, especially the comprehen-
sive training and reference materials that are
available.”

The “Situational assessment workshop” is
a significant milestone for each local com-
munity participating in the SOL project.
At the workshops, findings from the com-
prehensive assessment are presented in-
cluding local data about road crashes and
At the workshop, diverse community stake-
holders come together often for the first time
to discuss the data collected and the trag-
edies that lie beneath the data.
A key objective of the situational assessment
workshop is to build consensus among the
stakeholders about high priority road safety
issues. These high priority issues will be at
the center of the community strategies that
will be developed in the next phase of SOL.
One of the first situational assessment work-
shops was organized in Győr, Hungary in mid
casualties, institutional capacity, public
opinion and activities of road safety stake-
holders in the community. For many of the
communities participating in SOL, this is the
first time such a scoping assessment has
taken place.
The “Situational assessment
workshop” is a significant mile‑
stone for each local community
participating in the SOL project.
At the workshops, findings from
the comprehensive assessment
are presented including local
data about road crashes and
casualties, institutional capacity,
public opinion and activities of
road safety stakeholders in the
community.
September 2011. The workshop took place in
parallel to Mobility Week in Győr. The work-
shop consisted of a mixture of professional
and technical discussions and general out-
door event for school children. The press
conference in the morning – organized by the
local government initiated the mobility week
and gave a possibility to present SOL.
Participants included the local government,
the police, the local accident prevention com-
mittee, the local public transport company, the
university and several civil organizations. The

outcome and result of the situational assess-
ment was presented including the assessment
of the safety belt and child restraints wearing
rate, the assessment of the road safety situ-
ation around schools in Győr, etc. besides the
general road safety data. The event provided
great possibility for different stakeholders to
get involved in a discussion with each other
around the topic. The documented data was
compared with the opinion of the local par-
ties. While the participants agreed that the
they would like to focus on the road safety of
children, it revealed that within this area there
is much to improve on the child restraints us-
age rate and all agreed that the education of
children for road safety is very important. In
the city of Győr alcohol related road crashes
seem to be more of an issue than speeding.
Based on the data it also revealed that elderly
pedestrians are especially vulnerable. Partici-
pants gained very comprehensive knowledge
about the road safety situation of Győr.
In Brescia and Mantova, Italy, the data from
the situational assessment was presented
together with information on safety perform-
ance indicators from Prof Péter Holló, followed
by a discussion on risk factors. Understanding
of performance indicators for an analysis of
a situational assessment of an area was very
important because it can support future activ-
ities and enhancement of them, both training
actions or workshops. In Brescia stakeholders
were very interested the outcome of the as-
sessments. Stakeholders attending included
the Public Transport Company, Municipality of
Brescia and the FAI (Federation of truck driv-
ers). In Montova a survey will be distributed
to all truck drivers. Students of the University
of Brescia were also invited and actively par-
ticipated.
A survey will be distributed to schools and the
university on safety situation in public trans-
port. Alberto Milotti from ALOT says: “When
working in synergy with a wide variety of
stakeholders (police, associations, trainers,
etc.) we can set local targets for the coming
years, the actions to be put in place, the roles
and resources, in order to contribute to broad-
er international goals set for the reduction of
a number of road crash victims. Within these
activities we will also try to improve the data
collection system for more effective monitor-
ing of results achieved, strengthening the ex-
isting structures at the provincial level.”
Another good example is Slovenia where the
national SOL partner AMZS has established a
strong partnership with local stakeholders by
giving them ownership of the process. In both
locations: Kočevje and Tolmin, workshops
were organized in the towns to ensure local
ownership of the content and the outcome.
The leader of each workshop was one of the
local stakeholders so that the discussions
could be driven by the local community, with
the SOL partners providing support and tech-
nical input. Participants included the mayor,
police, local automobile club, insurance, me-
dia and other community stakeholders. The
discussions focused on key road safety risks
in the community. The situational assessment
workshop sparked a sense of urgency and
opportunity and generated an understanding
of the need and benefits of working together,
across disciplines and sectors, to make their
communities safer. The participants left the
workshop feeling empowered and with con-
sensus around the main issues. They feel they
share the same objectives for the health and
safety of their community and are ready to
strengthen and increase the pace of their
work together. SOL has given them the oppor-
tunity to do this.

have been visited and checked by certified
Road Safety Auditors concerning possible co-
factors due to infrastructure. Possible contra

have been published on the sets of regional
introduction workshops and checked by rel-
evant road operators and the police district.
Based on the methodology, 19 black spots
have been identified: 2 junctions and 17 road
sections. Some relevant improvements (safety
barriers, better signing of curves) have been
implemented immediately after the presenta-

THE SOL P ILOT AREAS: THE C ITY OF PREŠOV AND THE PREŠOV SELFGOVERNMENT COUNTY(PSC)
The Slovakian pilot project areas are situated in
the eastern part of Slovakia and the region con-
tains 2 sub regions. The project SOL activities
will primarily be concentrated on the Prešov
The City of Prešov has a suitable business loca-
tion through its connection to the roads leading
into the east European territories.
The strategic position in the heart of Central Eu-
rope also helps it to participate in the quality de-
velopment of citizen life. Within the radius of 100
km, it is possible to enter into Poland, Hungary or
the Ukraine. Further, goods transported by lorries
can access up to 350 million European citizens
within the radius of a one-day travel. Prešov has
91.650 citizens and is the third largest city in
the Slovak republic according to population. The
territory counts over 70 km² and the density of
citizens is 1.286/ Kkm².
State police offices in 7 regions participate in

office. Beside the city of Prešov, the cities of
Sabinov, Vranov nad Topľou, Kežmarok and Hu-
menné are also involved in the project. For the
City of Prešov, the number of fatal injuries in the
year 2010 was 53 and 44 in the year 2011. The
Prešov Self-government County (PSC) is boarded
by two countries - Poland and Ukraine along with
3 Slovak Self-government Counties. Along with
the Kosice Self-government County, the PSC
creates the territory of East Slovakia. There are
13 districts, 23 cities and 666 villages. The total
amount of citizens is almost 800.000. The den-
sity of population is 89 citizens per square kilom-
eter. The PSC is the largest county in the Slovak
Republic. The Košick-Self-government County
will also participate in some of the pilot activities.
The project SOL shall help to prevent road
crashes, deaths and injuries in the Central Europe
Space (CEUS). In 12 pilot areas of the 7 countries
Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slo-
venia, Italy and Austria targeted strategies will be
developed implementing effective programmes to
build a transnational road safety network. Find

SOL – A COMPREHENSIVE ROAD SAFETY STRATEGY FOR CENTRAL EUROPE
The main goal of the project is to promote
sustainable mobility and increase awareness
for safety issues as well as contributing to the
achievement of higher quality of living condi-
tions.
The approach of SOL sees Road-Safety within
the context of sustainable mobility, i.e. to make
walking and cycling safe and to promote a modal
shift from the private car to public transport.
SOL unites some of the most competent RS or-
ganisations from CEUS and worldwide, among
them the Global Road Safety Patnership (GRPS).
The multi-sector partners from eight countries
of CEUS have jointly developed a strategy that
supports the region in catching up with highest
EU standards in Road Safety.
