The design features a gradient background transitioning from light blue at the top to white at the bottom. At the top right corner, there is a blue and green "Safer Mobility" logo from Surewise, featuring an icon of a mobility scooter.

The infographic depicts different types of road users along this scale: - On the most vulnerable end, there is a pedestrian, a mobility scooter user (highlighted with a magnifying glass effect and a red question mark), and horse riders. - In the middle, cyclists and smaller vehicles like cars are shown. - On the least vulnerable end, larger vehicles such as vans and trucks are depicted. The image emphasizes the importance of road safety and awareness, particularly for more vulnerable road users like pedestrians and mobility scooter users.

The image also includes the Spotify logo, which is a green circle with three white sound waves.
