Physically disabled and visually impaired people were interviewed about the traffic environment at two locations in Borås. Children of school age were also interviewed about these two locations and two other places. The first location was Sjöbotorggatan, a residential street with a speed limit of 50 km/h which was first reconstructed into a 30-km/h street and then into a walking speed street (in Swedish gårdsgata), the Swedish-style traffic-calmed street similar to the Dutch Woonerven. Roughly half of the twelve people interviewed disabled or visually impaired people thought that Sjöbotorggatan had become safer as a walking speed street than as a 50-km/h street. Only one person thought it had become less safe. At the second location, 70-mm raised bus cushions were installed near a pedestrian and bicycle crossing across Hultagatan, an arterial street, in the early spring of 2000. The cushions were lowered to 55 mm in August 2000 as a result of complaints from motorists. People representing the physically disabled and visually impaired were interviewed at the location in September 2003. It was made clear that there were numerous problems with the current layout. For example, it was concluded that the curb on one side of the street was too high (40 mm vertical edge) for people in wheelchairs and that there were no features (markings) for the visually impaired. Two of the studied intersections are located near the Trandareds School. These intersections had been traffic calmed already in the late 1980's. Here, the effect on safety and mobility of the May 1, 2000 change of code was studied. This code change concerns yield responsibilities for automobile drivers at crosswalks. Fifty-seven percent of the pupils at the Trandareds School assessed that the code change had reduced the risk by 50% or more. However, a higher percentage, 83%, expressed the view that the safety had improved at the two sites that were reconstructed.
