Popis: Objective: The objective of this study is to estimate the crash risk per kilometer travelled by powered two wheeler riders filtering through traffic on urban roads.Methods: Using the traffic injury crashes recorded by the police over a period of three years on fourteen sections of urban roads in the city of Marseille, France and a campaign of observations of powered two-wheelers, the crash risk per kilometer travelled by powered two-wheelers filtering was estimated and compared to the risk of powered two-wheelers that did not filter.Results: The results show that the risk of powered two-wheeler riders being involved in injury crashes while filtering is significantly higher than the risk for riders who do not filter. For the fourteen sections studied, it is 3.94 times greater (95% CI: 2.63; 5.89). This excess risk occurred for all powered two-wheeler categories. Furthermore, no space appears to be safer than the others for filtering. Riders filtering forward along the axis of the carriageway, along bus lanes or between traffic lanes (lane-splitting) all have a crash risk greater than the risk of those who do not filter. Conclusions: All measures limiting the practice of filtering by powered two-wheelers on urban roads would probably contribute to improving the safety of their users.
