Regions are Europe’s basic levels of management. The literature was reviewed to identify regional safety analyses and some of the factors that are important for road safety in the regions. Next, data were collected at the regional NUTS 2 level in Europe for the years 1999-2008. An analysis of the data helped identify factors which have the strongest bearing on fatalities and other safety measures. This paper presents the initial results of a broader research programme on road safety at the regional level.
