Vulnerable Road Users

Vulnerable Road Users

If you look up the word vulnerable in a dictionary, one of the examples you may find is “able to be hurt, easily”. In a road-user scenario, “Vulnerable” is a term applied to those most at risk from other traffic; for instance, road users who are not protected by the shell of the vehicle they are in.
