5.2 A Framework of Road Safety Development Phases
The combined effect of the policy development cycles, as presented i can be applied
to a general framework of road safety development phases, resulting in three overall phases of
road safety development, i.e. establishment, growth and maturity.
In these three overall phases the effects of the individual policy cycles, for example on legislation
or motorway construction, are aggregated, resulting in an effect as presented i

5.3 Typical Road Safety Characteristics Per Road Safety Development Phase
For the three identified road safety development phases typical road safety characterises can be
described at the level of the five road safety pillars, as presented i
