Abstract
This study uses the contingent valuation method to elicit individuals' preferences for their
own and others' safety in road-tra±c. Whereas one group is asked about a private safety device for
themselves, other groups are asked about safety devices for their children, household, relatives and the
public. Support is found for the hypothesis that individuals are not purely sel¯sh when it comes the
safety of others.
Key words Safety; Willingness to pay; Altruism; Road-tra±c
