Abstract
This study seeks to derive the implied values of reducing the risks of fatal and non-fatal injuries for different road user populations. Val ues are obtained for ''typical'' adults, children (as implied by their parents actions) and adults who ride motorcycles. The authors also co nsider whether individuals evaluate small time increments consistently with larger time allocations.
