Vulnerable road users

Vulnerable road users refer to individuals who are at higher risk of injury or death in traffic situations due to their lack of protection compared to motor vehicle occupants. This group includes pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and users of mobility devices. Their safety is often compromised because they are less visible, more exposed to traffic, and may be involved in accidents that result in serious injuries. To promote their safety, it is essential to improve road infrastructure, enforce traffic laws, and raise public awareness about sharing the road responsibly.
