Abstract
In order to prevent accidents between motorized and non-motorized participants, the following different strategies are known in general: eliminate the risk; separate the non-motorized participants from the risk situation; if that is not possible—insulate the risk; if that is not possible—modify the risk; if that does not work—equip the road infrastructure (with additional road furniture), than control the risk behavior (watch, supervise); when it is not enough—inform and instruct non-motorized (also motorized) participants (through brochures, leaflets, newspapers, television…); when that cannot be done—restrict to approach the risk zone (by legislation or prohibition); the last action to be taken is to start the emergency (reconstruction and new—more safe solution).
