Nordic countries have their visions of traffic safety. E.g. Finland has a vision, which states that no one should die or be seriously disabled due to a traffic accident. In the project appraisal system, which is based on calculation of the socio-economic profitability, one of the measures evaluated is the impact of the investment on accidents and accident costs. An evaluation card is produced for each project, presenting the most relevant information of the project to decision-makers.

Among the information presented safety impacts are also shown, but unfortunately with varying level of detail or in some cases almost non-existent. Whilst in most cases the data on injury prevention was available, deaths were not reported so accurately. This is unfortunate, particularly if the projects are analysed from the point of view of the road safety vision.
