Cyclists and cars stopped at an intersectionPedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists comprise the most vulnerable road user groups.

The projects in this theme seek to better understand the over-representation of these groups in crashes and the severity of their outcomes, and to develop interventions to address these issues.

For motorcyclists, there is a focus on licensing and training issues, while patterns of activity and road environment issues are relatively more important in pedestrian and bicyclist projects.
