The slight fall in road accidents in Spain recorded during 2015 reaffirms both the work
carried out by the campaign and the need for it to continue. According to the data
included in the 2015 Road Safety Balance Sheet from the Directorate General of Traffic,
there were 1,018 fatal accidents in which 1,126 people died. Compared to the previous year,
the number of deaths has fallen by 1% (-6) and hospitalised injuries by 2% (-105).

Ponle Freno
, together with the Axa Foundation
and in collaboration with the University of
Valencia, has prepared a study analysing
accidents involving cyclists from 2008 to 2013.
The document will be released in 2016 together
with the results from another report on the
training of this group. In recent years cycling
has become a major player in mobility for cities.
