The analyses published on the Road to Zero Cyprus platform represent independent scientific and technical assessments based on the principles of the international Safe System framework.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: These analyses are conducted solely for research, academic, and advocacy purposes. Under no circumstances:
- Do they constitute legal findings, court expertise, or official traffic crash investigation reports.
- Do they attribute legal fault, criminal liability, or negligence to any involved party or individual.

2. Media Monitor Grading Disclaimer
The scores (Green / Amber / Red) assigned to news articles in the Media Monitor reflect an algorithmic and human assessment based strictly on published Road Collision Reporting Guidelines:
- They represent research opinions on whether reporting styles foster systemic safety awareness rather than sensationalizing or victim-blaming.
- They do not judge the overall journalistic credibility or bias of the respective media organizations.
3. iRAP-Inspired Safety Rating Disclaimer
The safety star ratings displayed on the map and collision detail sheets:
- Are indicative research metrics calculated using infrastructure parameters fetched from OpenStreetMap.
- Do not constitute an official iRAP audit or certified safety rating from the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP).
- Real-world road safety conditions may vary due to dynamic variables such as traffic patterns, weather, and temporary modifications.
