The European Commission has put forward a new approach to road safety policy for the decade 2021-2030, highlighting the need of establishing a range of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for road safety at European level, are directly related to the prevention of road fatalities and serious injuries. To measure progress on road safety, the most basic – and important – indicators are the outcomes indicators on deaths and serious injuries. In cooperation with Member State experts, a first set of KPIs that relate to main road safety challenges were selected, namely: (1) infrastructure safety, (2) vehicle safety, (3) safe road use including speed, alcohol, distraction and the use of protective equipment, and (4) emergency response. The aim of the KPIs is connected to the EC target outcomes as they provide a much clearer understanding of the different issues that influence overall safety performance. Within this context, the Trendline project brought together 25 EU Member States and 4 other European countries as observers, for data collection, data analysis, delivery of road safety KPIs and for using these within road safety policies. Trendline was co-funded by the European Union and built on the experience gained in the Baseline project. The objective of this study is the analysis of speed characteristics in the EU countries based on the results of the KPI Speed calculated within Trendline.
