Traffic Safety

The aim of road safety work is to create a safer traffic environment for everyone. By following traffic rules and respecting others using the road environment, we can together reduce accidents and enhance the sense of safety. In Finland and internationally, road safety work is guided by the Vision Zero principle, according to which no one should have to die or be seriously injured in traffic. Sipoo's plan for safe and sustainable mobility will guide the municipality's traffic safety work in the coming years.

Sipoo Municipality has a working group for safe and sustainable mobility, a cross‑sectoral body that promotes safe and sustainable travel. The working group plans and coordinates local road safety efforts. In Sipoo, the group includes representatives from various municipal departments as well as the police, the rescue services, the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment, and the Finnish Road Safety Council (Liikenneturva). The working group also cooperates closely with other regional stakeholders. Its work is supported by an external road safety coordinator.

The Police maintain traffic safety and are responsible for, in expamle, speed control. More information on the Police's traffic safety work can be found on the Police's traffic safety website. On the Police website, you can, for example, submit a traffic monitoring request for an area that requires traffic surveillance.

For example, the Liikenneturva website provides guidance on safe traffic behaviour and other useful additional information related to traffic safety.
