Traffic incidents between pedestrians and cyclists result in an incomparably smaller number of victims (injured and killed) than accidents between unprotected traffic participants and other vehicles. However, such incidents cannot be underestimated, as in most cases they take place on elements of infrastructure designed for pedestrians and cyclists, and thus negatively affect the sense of safety of users in places where they should not only feel safe but also comfortable. This paper presents an analysis of such traffic incidents, aimed at recognizing the share of pedestrians and cyclists as perpetrators and also victims of accidents. Three research hypotheses were examined: that the type of infrastructure and also light and weather conditions influences the structure of perpetrators and victims, that the proportion of accidents between pedestrians and cyclists caused by pedestrians is increasing, and that the proportion of victims of accidents between pedestrians and cyclists in the pedestrian group is decreasing. Analyses were performed based on the number of traffic incidents involving cyclists and pedestrians in the six largest Polish cities, registered in the Police Accident and Collision Records System. A total of 1,702 incidents involving 1,034 injured and killed people in years 2007-2018 were considered. Each traffic incident was considered individually, taking into account changes in perpetrator and victim proportions depending on the type and purpose of the infrastructure and external conditions, as well as variability of these proportions over subsequent years. The tools of mathematical statistics were used, including – among others - significance tests for independent proportions and Chisquared test for trend. On the basis of the conducted statistical analyses, all research hypothesis were proved. It also confirmed that although the proportions are changing, there are still much more traffic incidents are caused by cyclists, but more victims are in group of pedestrians. The results of the research confirm the need to take action to develop effective mechanisms of mutual interaction between pedestrians and cyclists. Especially in view of the growing bicycle traffic in Polish cities.

W pierwszej części artykułu autorzy przedstawiają w ogólnym zarysie problem bezpieczeństwa niechronionych użytkowników ruchu, w zależności od panujących warunków na drodze. W ostatnich kilkudziesięciu latach obserwujemy szybki rozwój transportu drogowego, co przekłada się na wzrost liczby pojazdów. Tym samym wzrasta ryzyko wystąpienia niebezpiecznych zdarzeń drogowych.

In the first part of the article, the authors present a general outline of the problem of safety of unprotected road users, depending on the prevailing road conditions. In the past several years the rapid growth of road transport has been observed, which translates into an increase in the number of vehicles. Thereby the risk of dangerous road events is increasing.

Niechroniony karoserią samochodu człowiek znajduje się na przegranej pozycji w stosunku do użytkowników pojazdów. W dobie dynamicznie rosnącej motoryzacji i powszechnego kultu dla samochodu pieszy (jak i rowerzysta) styka się z coraz większą liczbą zagrożeń. W artykule autor przedstawia europejskie i kanadyjskie rozwiązania, które skutecznie zwiększają bezpieczeństwo pieszych i rowerzystów na drogach.

Unprotected human body is has no chance of survival in comparison to the users of the vehicle. In today's rapidly growing automotive industry and the public worship of the vehicle, a pedestrian (and cyclist) faces a growing number of threats. In this paper the author presents European solutions that effectively enhance the safety of pedestrians and cyclists on the roads.
