trafiksäkra

Trafiksäkra is a Swedish term that translates to "traffic safe" or "road safe." It refers to the general condition of a road, vehicle, or infrastructure that prioritizes the safety of all road users, including drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians. The concept encompasses a broad range of factors designed to prevent accidents and minimize injuries when accidents do occur.

In the context of infrastructure, trafiksäkra measures might include well-maintained road surfaces, clear signage and markings, appropriate lighting, pedestrian crossings, cycle paths, and traffic calming measures such as speed bumps or reduced speed limits. Vehicles are considered trafiksäkra if they are equipped with safety features like airbags, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), and are regularly maintained to ensure their mechanical soundness.

The goal of promoting trafiksäkra conditions is to create a transportation environment where the risk of accidents is reduced, and the consequences of any incidents are less severe. This involves a continuous effort from authorities, manufacturers, and road users themselves to adhere to safety standards and best practices.
