1 Second Global status report on road safety: Respondents' Questionnaire Country: Respondent's Information Name: Position: Institution: address: Phone number: Fax: INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETION OF RESPONDENTS' QUESTIONNAIRE Thank you for completing this questionnaire. This questionnaire was developed to assess the response to the road safety situation in your country. The same questionnaire will be completed by several road safety colleagues from various sectors in your country, and your National Data Coordinator will convene a consensus meeting to determine one set of answers for the country. We do not expect any one person to complete ALL the questions included here: what you are able to answer will depend on your particular role with regard to road safety in your country, so please just complete the following questions to the best of your ability. Then please bring this with you when you attend the consensus meeting, organized by your National Data Coordinator. He/she will compile ONE questionnaire for your country, based

2 on the responses obtained from you and other respondents. The information collected will be compiled into a report, the Second Global status report on road safety, which will be published in We know that a great deal of information is being requested in this questionnaire and sincerely appreciate your efforts. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact your National Data Coordinator who has sent you this questionnaire. 2
