Analyzing Traffic Fatalities in Vienna: Who Assumes the Risk?

This study by Christine Turetschek from AIT examines traffic fatalities in Vienna based on 2011 data. The analysis reveals that pedestrians constituted 55% of fatalities, while cars, motorbikes, mopeds, and cyclists accounted for the remainder. One significant finding is the prevalence of accidents involving cyclists, with 1 fatality and 638 injuries reported. Key issues identified include the feeling of safety among pedestrians despite high fatality risks, driver speed behaviors at zebra crossings, and a lack of effective communication between road users.
