WHAT THE DATA SHOWS
Ten years, 629 serious collisions
629
serious collisions, 2015–2024
The data comes from the Traffic Police Brigade of the Bucharest Municipal Police and covers 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2024. Only serious collisions are recorded: those resulting in death or injury.
475
involving pedestrians
154
involving cyclists
29
schools and kindergartens covered
On average, every six days a pedestrian or cyclist was seriously injured in Sector 1.
Most occurred in predictable places: where no crossing existed, where street lighting never reached the carriageway, where nothing told a driver they were passing a school.
Data source: Traffic Police Brigade – Bucharest Municipal Police, at the request of Sector 1 City Hall.

LOCATIONS
29 places, two neighbourhoods
The first phase covers the Băneasa (16 locations) and Grivița (13 locations) neighbourhoods. Every location holds a building permit and a technical design checked by certified design verifiers, as required by Romanian Law 10/1995 on construction quality.
Two further areas — Bucureștii Noi and Piața Romană — are in the same procedure. Five new areas (Chitila, Primăverii, Cișmigiu, Domenii and Aviatorilor) are at documentation stage.

Estimated value at approval stage — DALI (documentation for approval of intervention works) general cost estimate, 28 November 2025. Includes the legal reserves required by Government Decision 1116/2023.
For Grivița, the budget is published at area level; per-location figures follow once the itemised cost estimates are extracted.
The two figures come from different design stages — Băneasa at technical design stage, Grivița at approval (DALI) stage — and cannot be added together directly.

WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU
What your street gains
Your child crosses more safely
Raised crossings force vehicles to slow down exactly where children cross.
Visible at night
Dedicated lighting makes pedestrians visible in good time, not at the last second.
Drivers see their speed
Radar displays show actual speed. Most drivers slow down without being told to.
Accessible to everyone
Tactile paving guides people with visual impairments to the crossing.
Less chaos at drop-off
Kiss & ride zones organise the morning stop instead of scattering it across the carriageway.
Minimal running cost
The systems run on solar power with three days of autonomy and switch on only when someone approaches.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions and answers
Where does the collision data come from?
From the Traffic Police Brigade of the Bucharest Municipal Police, at the request of Sector 1 City Hall. It covers 2015–2024 and includes only serious collisions.
When do the works start?
The projects are permitted and submitted for funding to the Bucharest-Ilfov Regional Development Agency. Works begin once funding contracts are signed. The schedule depends on the evaluation process and on public procurement for the works.
Who pays?
The Bucharest-Ilfov Regional Programme 2021-2027, Priority 5. Local co-financing is a minimum of 7% for Bucharest.
Why only 29 locations?
The first phase covers the areas with the highest concentration of schools and the highest risk identified in the road safety audit. Seven further areas are in preparation.
Will parking spaces be lost?
At locations receiving the full treatment, space immediately adjacent to crossings is cleared so that driver and pedestrian can see each other. This is a safety requirement, not an anti-parking measure. Details are in the drawings of each technical design.
What about the cameras?
Surveillance systems are signposted in accordance with applicable law and are sized so as not to intrude on residential privacy. Video feeds are integrated into the City Hall control room through a separate project.
Why raised crossings rather than just paint?
Markings alone do not change speed. A raised table does, physically. The road safety audit required under this programme calls for measures that demonstrate a reduction in serious collisions, not signage alone.
Who designed this?
Urban Scope, as lead designer, for Sector 1 of Bucharest. The documentation complies with Government Decision 907/2016 and was checked by certified design verifiers.
