1 Road Safety Annual Report 2016 OECD/ITF 2016 Chapter 15 Hungary This chapter presents detailed 2014 road safety data for Hungary along with an overview of results from It looks at Hungary s road safety history and reviews trends in traffic and road safety from the years 1990 to 2014 along with road user behaviour patterns. This includes data on speed, drink driving, drugs and driving, distracted driving, fatigue and seat belt usage. The chapter reviews Hungary s road safety strategy and national targets to 2020 and the progress achieved thus far. It also highlights the most recently implemented safety measures.* * All data stem from the Institute for Transport Sciences (KTI) and IRTAD unless otherwise noted.

2 Hungary, with its population of 9.8 million, benefited from a seven-year period of decreasing road deaths from 2007 to This downward trend appears to have seen a reversal over the last two years with a total of 626 fatalities in 2014, an increase of 6%, followed by an additional increase of 3.4% in 2015 with 647 fatalities. This equals a rate of 6.5 deaths per inhabitants in This could partly be attributed to economic recovery as both vehicles registered and kilometres travelled increased during this period. Road safety data collection Definitions applied in Hungary Road fatality: Person who dies within 30 days as a result of a traffic crash. Seriously injured person: Any person who, due to the crash, sustained an injury which meets one of the following criteria: necessitates hospitalisation for more than 48 hours within seven days of the accident; caused a fracture (except for finger, toe, nose fractures); caused cuts that resulted in serious bleeding or nerve, muscle or tendon injuries; caused injury of inner organs; caused a burn of second or third degree or a burn affecting more than 5% of body surface. Data collection Data on personal injury crashes are collected by the police and form the basis of the official Hungarian road crash statistics. In Hungary, the provision of road traffic crash data is governed by the government decree on the National Statistical Data Collection Programme, in line with the Act on Statistics. It takes into account Council Decision 93/704/ EC, which stipulates that the member states provide their safety data to the European Commission for the elaboration of a European community database ( CARE ). The Hungarian national data collection system has been adjusted to be compatible with the Common Accident Data Set (CADaS) structure. Variables are divided into four categories: Accident, Road, Traffic Unit, and Person. The European Commission and the International Road Traffic and Accident Database (IRTAD) have recommended that Hungary collect data on serious injuries based on the Maximum Abbreviated Injury Scale of 3 or more (MAIS3+). Experts are working on options to translate codes of the International Classification of Diseases, which are used in hospitals to define the nature and severity of injuries, into codes on the Abbreviated Injury Scale. In the short run, translation seems to be the main realistic option to collect MAIS3+ data. It is now planned that the severity of a crash will be determined by health care staff and not by the police. However, this requires some adjustments in the legislation. 216

3 The quality and completeness of police reported data is good for fatal crashes and casualties. However, based on previous research, it is estimated that only 85% of those seriously injured (based on the national definition) and 60% of those slightly injured are reported in police records. Most recent safety data Road crashes in 2015 final data In 2015, there were 647 road fatalities, a 3.4% increase when compared to This is the second consecutive year with an increase in the number of fatalities, after a seven-year period of continuous decrease. Recovery of the economy could explain this increase. Road crashes in 2014 After a seven-year period of improvement ( ) the number of fatalities in 2014 increased by almost 6% compared to 2013, with 626 persons killed. The biggest increase was observed among vulnerable road users cyclists and pedestrians. Trends in traffic and road safety ( ) Traffic The annual distance travelled (vehicle-kilometres) on the state road network decreased by 10% between 2008 and The decrease concerned both light and heavy vehicles. In 2013 the number of vehicle-kilometres was practically the same as in 2012, but in 2014 traffic volume increased by 4.2% over 2013, probably as a result of the economic recovery. Road safety Crashes and casualties According to Prof. Dr Péter Holló, the history of Hungarian road safety can be divided into the following periods: : Relatively stable period. The 30-day definition for road accident fatalities was introduced in : Strong deterioration, similar to all countries where the political, social and economic systems changed following the collapse of the Soviet bloc. This political change was accompanied by negative side effects for road safety, due to weak police control, less political attention to road safety, a false interpretation of freedom, explosion in the size and changes in the structure of the vehicle fleet, etc. The worst year for Hungarian road safety was in 1990, with nearly people killed : Important improvements and major initiatives: 1993: Adoption of the first Hungarian National Road Safety Programme with a quantitative target. Road safety measures were implemented such as lower speed limits in built-up areas, mandatory daytime running lights and rear seat safety belt use outside built-up areas, intensified police control and road safety campaigns, more severe sanctions, etc was the most successful year until 2008, with a reduction of more than 50% in the number of people killed (1 200) compared to Some demographic and economic factors contributed to the positive trend: a decrease in the number of novice drivers and an increase in vehicle operating costs. 217

4 : Deterioration, mainly outside built-up areas. In 2001, the speed limits outside built-up areas were raised. The level of police enforcement was insufficient, as was the organisation and funding of road safety activities : After several years of increasing road fatalities, the 2007 performance was back to that of In 2008, there was a remarkable decrease in fatalities less than In 2013 the number of road fatalities was as low as that of 50 years earlier. The improvement in the passive safety of vehicles is considered to be an important factor contributing to these positive results. In 2014 and 2015, the number of fatalities increased. Rates In 2014, Hungary recorded 6.3 fatalities per inhabitants, a rate almost four times lower than the maximum in the 1990s. However this rate has increased compared to 2013 by more than 6%. Based on the population data of 1 January 2015, the rate was 6.5 in Fatalities per registered motor vehicles (excluding mopeds) were divided by almost seven between 1990 and 2014 and by a factor of 2.5 since The rate was 1.61 fatalities in 2013 which increased slightly to 1.66 in 2014 and Table Road safety and traffic data % change from Reported safety data Fatalities Injury crashes Deaths per inhabitants Deaths per registered vehicles Traffic data Registered vehicles 1 (thousands) Registered vehicles 1 per inhabitants Registered vehicles excluding mopeds Road safety by user group All user groups have benefited from important safety improvements since 1990, with the largest benefits for vulnerable road users: pedestrians (-81%), cyclists (-69%) and moped users (-82%) In 2014, safety deteriorated for almost all road user groups, with the exception of powered two-wheeler riders. The situation in particular worsened for cyclists, with a 44% increase in the number of fatalities. This sharp increase might be related to a change in legislation, whereby it is no longer a traffic violation to ride a bicycle under the influence of alcohol. Road safety by age group Since 1990, the reduction in fatalities has benefited all age groups. In 2014, there was an improvement among the and age groups, against a background of overall increase in fatalities by 5.9%. A marked deterioration was observed for the age group, for which the number of fatalities more than doubled from 11 in 2013 to 24 in

In 2014, the situation deteriorated on the whole road network except motorways, where fatalities were reduced by 10% when compared to Since 1990, road safety improvements have benefited all roads, with most progress seen on roads in urban areas. Economic costs of traffic crashes Traffic crashes represent a significant cost for society, estimated in 2013 at around EUR 1.88 billion. This estimation is calculated using both a willingness to pay and a human capital approach (Hollo, 2013), based on a methodology by McMahon and Dahdah (2008). 220

7 Figure Road fatalities by road type Rural roads Inside urban areas Motorways Number of fatalities Recent trends in road user behaviour Speed According to on-site police investigations, speeding is a contributing factor in about 40% of fatal crashes. Automatic speed cameras are being introduced. The table below summarises the main speed limits in Hungary. Table Passenger car speed limits by road type, 2016 General speed limit Urban roads Rural roads Motorways 50 km/h 90 km/h 130 km/h 110 km/h on motor roads Drink driving In Hungary, drivers are forbidden to drive under the influence of alcohol. The theoretical maximum blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.0 g/l. In practice, drivers are convicted only if their BAC is above 0.2 g/l. However, the law was softened in July 2011 and the driving licence can be withdrawn on the spot only when the driver is seriously under the influence of alcohol. In Hungary, the person responsible for a road crash is tested for blood alcohol concentration. Crash opponents who are not at fault are usually not tested. A crash is recorded as alcohol related when the person responsible for the crash is under the influence of alcohol. In 2014, 10% of all injury crashes were caused by a driver under the influence of alcohol. Drugs and driving Driving under the influence of drugs is defined in the Act of Criminal Code and is listed among the potential crash contributing factors in accident forms. Unlike alcohol, there is no per se limit regarding drug consumption. 221

8 Saliva tests are not yet in use in Hungary, which makes drug driving enforcement very difficult. Drivers may be tested (from blood or urine samples) when they are suspected of impairment and when the alcohol test is negative. This happens very rarely and no random testing is being carried out, partly due to the costs of toxicology tests. Therefore, statistics on drug driving fatalities are not representative of the reality. In 2015, driving under the influence of drugs was reported as a contributing factor in five cases. Distraction Hungary recognises distracted driving in fatal and injury crashes. Mobile phone use or texting while driving are not identified specifically in the category of distracted behaviour. The use of hand-held mobile phones while driving is not authorised. The penalty for using a hand-held mobile phone while driving is HUF in urban areas, HUF outside urban areas and HUF on motorways. According to a roadside survey undertaken in 2015, more than 5% of drivers are regularly using a hand-held mobile phone while driving. Sleepiness and fatigue Based on expert estimations, 10 to 15% of all road fatalities are due to sleepiness and fatigue. Seat belts and helmets Seat belt use has been compulsory in front seats since Outside urban areas they have been compulsory in rear seats since 1993 and in urban areas since Dedicated child restraint use is compulsory for children of 150 cm or less. In 2015, 83% of front-seat occupants and 39% of adult rear-seat occupants wore a seat belt, which is low in comparison to best performing countries. In addition, these rates have lowered since the last survey in 2013, when they were at 87% and 57% respectively. Table Seat belt wearing rate (%) by car occupancy and road type Front seat General (driver + passengers) Driver Passenger (front seat) Urban roads (driver) Rural roads (driver) Motorways (driver) Rear seats General Children (use of child restraint) Helmet wearing has been compulsory since 1965 for motorcyclists, since 1997 for moped riders outside built-up areas, and since 1998 for moped riders inside built-up areas. The compliance rate by motorcyclists is nearly 100%. There is no mandatory helmet use law for cyclists. 222

9 National road safety strategies and targets Organisation of road safety In Hungary, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of National Development are responsible for road safety. Overall responsibility rests with the deputy state secretary of the Ministry of National Development. The Hungarian Transport Strategy and the Road Safety Action Programme The Road Safety Action Programme is integrated into the Hungarian Transport Strategy. The primary aim of the programme for is to improve road user behaviour, increase the level of compliance with traffic rules, develop individual responsibility and establish partnership in road traffic. Detailed road safety action plans are developed for each year. The National Transport Strategy builds on the previous Hungarian Transport Policy , which included targets to reduce the number of injury crashes and road fatalities by 30% from 2001 to 2010 and by 50% by Road safety targets The Hungary Transport Strategy includes a road safety target aiming at decreasing by 50% the number of road fatalities between 2010 and It also includes an interim target of fewer than 518 road deaths by In addition to the national target, Hungary adopted the European Commission s target to reduce by 50% the number of road fatalities by 2020, in comparison with 2011 level. Monitoring targets KTI continuously monitors the road safety situation and each year publishes a detailed evaluation based on outcome indicators (number of deaths and injury crashes) and also on a set of safety performance indicators (such as the use of seat belts, child restraints, daylight running lights, etc.). Based on the evaluation of the previous programme, KTI recommends dedicating further efforts to increasing the use of seat belts and child seats, installing more speed cameras and better protecting vulnerable road users. Considering the increase in 2015 to 647 fatalities, it seems unlikely that Hungary will reach the interim target set by the Hungarian Road Safety Action Programme for of 518 fatalities. Recent safety measures ( ) Road safety management As of 1 September 2014 the Highway Code was modified: Drivers are forbidden to overtake buses transporting children at stops where children get on and off. Application rules for child restraints in the front seats of passenger cars are more precise. Reduced speed limits around educational institutes only apply during school hours. Speed management A new intelligent camera system (VÉDA) was installed in The system will enable better detection of traffic violations. 223

10 Figure Trends in road fatalities towards national target Fatalities National target EU target Infrastructure A new road category, fast roads, has been agreed. The roads in this category have dual carriageways and a central barrier, but, unlike motorways, they allow for intersections, traffic control signals and roundabouts. The speed limit will be 110 km/h. Recent and ongoing research KTI is conducting a number of road safety research projects (SENSOR, ROSEE, PRO SAFE, Safety Tunes projects).
