The following concrete results, for example, were achieved: the development of the Road Safety Programme for 2015-2020 in Vyborg and Vsevolozhsk and the identification of road sections with a high accident risk (black spot analysis). The Russian planners and designers were introduced to road accident risk management. The cross-border road traffic safety study was carried out for Southeast Finland and plans and designs for the Southeast Finland cross-border roads were improved. The traffic safety materials (such as traffic signs) were also purchased and installed by means of the project co-funding.
