4. TU Dresden, 15.02.2016A Traffic Safety Plan for DresdenSlide 3 01 Introduction General Information: Capital of Saxony with about 500.000 inhabitants. Road Traffic Safety: Overall about 15.000 accidents (including material damage) in 2005, more than 2.500 people were injured. Every year about 100 persons get injured in accidents at turned-off traffic lights. Every year about 90 collisions of left-turning drivers with oncoming traffic take place at traffic lights. Approximately 500 persons are injured in right-of-way-accidents involving bicyclists every year. City of Dresden

13. TU Dresden, 15.02.2016A Traffic Safety Plan for DresdenSlide 12 03 Major Issues Action plan for 60 black spots Approach: Based on the ranking of black spots, an action plan was worked out in order to eliminate 60 black spots in Dresden. The spots were ranked by means of benefit-cost-estimations. Results: The investment costs for the measures suggested amount to about 2.800.000 €. The annual cost can be estimated at around 380.000 € p. a.. The benefit adds up to 5.600.000 € p. a.. This leads to a benefit-cost-ratio of approximately 15.

18. TU Dresden, 15.02.2016A Traffic Safety Plan for DresdenSlide 17 04 Conclusions Results: The City of Dresden is now fitted with a short-term concept in order to improve the road traffic safety at 60 spots effectively. The action plan is ranked by means of benefit-cost-ratio and allows a highly efficient use of resources. Results are provided to support a safe development of road infrastructure in the long-term. The analysis of safety potentials throughout the main road network builds a basis for an appropriate consideration of road traffic safety in the future planning process.
