Specific goals for traffic safety and mobility education should be set. These specific goals should be set for each level of education and for each type of road user. These goals should be strategically set at national level as minimum learning requirements, based upon which the individual intervention’s operational objectives can be established.

The goals should not only be about attaining knowledge regarding traffic safety and mobility, but also ensure that the pupils learn the skills and behaviour necessary to participate safely in traffic (see also Principle #9). The goals should also take into account and reflect new developments, such as new safety risks and new modes of mobility.

Setting goals is of great importance for the proper evaluation of both national strategies and individual interventions.
