Today is the study conducted on behalf of the Swedish Transport Administration.

The questions in the study include, for example, traffic behaviour and traffic patterns; attitudes to road safety and traffic rules, the relation between alcohol and traffic and child safety in traffic. Both motor traffic, bicycle and foot traffic is concerned. A total of 28 questions are used, including descriptive questions, estimation questions and attitude questions.
