Release of the pedestrian safety study in Austria

The pedestrian safety study has now also been published in Austria.

 

June 2019

 

"Despite good successes in recent years, there is still considerable potential for improvement in the area of pedestrian safety. 4,000 injured and in some years up to 70 killed pedestrians in Austria cannot and must not simply be tolerated".

This statement by Xaver Wölfl, board member of Allianz Austria, illustrates the international relevance of pedestrian safety.

On Wednesday, 22 May, the Allianz Pedestrian Study was presented to the Austrian press in Vienna. Xaver Wölfl and Dr. Jörg Kubitzki, traffic psychologist from AZT and author of the study, presented selected results and answered journalists' questions.
