Paperi on parlamentin vastaus komission tiedonantoon KOM(2010) 389.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FI><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FI>Vaikka kyse on kokoelmasta suosituksia, joilla ole lainvoimaa, mietintö on monin tavoin erinomainen askel kohti turvallisempaa liikennettä ja viihtyisämpää kaupunkiasumista.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FI><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FI>Mietintö suosittaa vahvasti, että ”toimivaltaiset viranomaiset ottavat käyttöön 30 kilometrin nopeusrajoituksen asuinalueilla ja kaikilla yksikaistaisilla teillä kaupunkialueilla, joilla ei ole erillistä pyöräkaistaa, onnettomuuksille alttiiden tienkäyttäjien suojelemiseksi tehokkaammin”. Lisäksi mietinnössä mm. kiinnitetään huomiota teiden valaistukseen ja suositellaan alkoholipitoisuutta koskevan enimmäisrajan yhdenmukaistamista EU:n tasolla. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FI><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FI>Kaiken kaikkiaan mietintö kannattaa katsastaa ja seurata europarlamentin keskustelua aiheesta ensi viikolla.

Lausuntokierroksen yhdessä vaiheessa suositus koski kaikkia pyöräilijöitä kaikissa paikoissa kaikkina aikoina, mikä olisi ollut erittäin kielteinen lopputulos. Onneksi parlamentin liikennevaliokunta otti pyöräilijöiden huolen huomioon, eikä tällaista muotoilua päätynyt lopulliseen mietintöön.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FI><o:p>
