In road safety, what characterises a vulnerable road user?

Correct answer

Greater risk of injury or more severe injury due to their means of travel or age-related physical characteristics.

Their means of travel or the physical characteristics of their age group give them a greater risk of injury in a crash or more severe injuries. Examples include pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and personal-mobility-vehicle users. Vulnerability is not defined solely by crash probability or exclusively by a particular age.
