Background 19/11/2008 Publication of the Directive 2008/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on road infrastructure safety management Art 1. Field of Application : (TEN-T Network = “the road network identified in Section 2 of Annex I to Decision No 1692/96/EC” = a part of EU Highways) La Direttiva si applica solo alla rete TEN-T, cioè su una parte delle autostrade

The “Pillars” of the Directive Art. 3 - Road safety impact assessment-RIA Art. 4 - Road safety audit-RSA Art. 5 - Safety ranking and management of the road network in operation Art. 6 - Road safety inspection Art. 9 - Appointment and training of auditors Member States shall ensure ….. training curricula for road safety auditors are adopted by 19 December 2011.

6 Concept and Objectives of the Pilot4Safety Project Pilot4Safety aims to overcome this “barrier”, by using a part of the Directive as a template for safety application on regional roads Direct “cross” participation of regional Road Authorities, Involvement of organisations with large experience in road safety training courses Application of RSA, RSI on some road stretches identified by each regional Authority as a priority in terms of safety. Il progetto Pilot4 Safety intende superare questo ostacolo adottando una parte della Direttiva come modello per la gestione della sicurezza nelle strade regionali

Pilot4Safety: Task 5 – RSA Training Session Id. P.0.1 Pilot4Safety è in linea con gli orientamenti politici della Commissione

Pilot4Safety: Task 5 – RSA Training Session Id. P.0.1 Che ha tra I suoi obiettivi la promozione della applicazione della Direttiva anche alle reti stradali secondarie, in particolare attraverso lo scambio delle migliori pratiche

9 Scheme of the initiative external reference group Pilot4Safety has an external reference group composed of other European regions, International Associations dealing with road safety and other stakeholders. The Reference Group will be invited to provide comment and advice on the project deliverables which will be taken into consideration in the final recommendations Pilot4Safety è seguito da un Reference group esterno, costituito da altre Regioni Europee, Associazioni per la sicurezza stradale e vari stakeholders che forniscono I loro commenti alle varie fasi del progetto

Project progress: Curricula and Manual 10 Analysis of the basic material Internal discussion.. …taking into account the development of the 2 curricula

Project tasks 11 Task 2: Development of common curricula for RSA and RSI experts (structured list of arguments, each one with a certain number of training hours) - Completed Task 3: Training tools (Manual with a general road safety part, plus 2 specific RSA and RSI sections) – Completed Task 4: Common agreement (international agreement for the mutual acceptance of the certificates issued by FEHRL) - Completed

Project Tasks 12 Task 5: Training of 2 technicians for each regional road Authority – RSA Training Completed ; RSI in progress Task 6 and 7 : 1 RSA and 1 RSI in each participating region with at least one foreign expert per team – Starts in July 2011 Task 8 : Evaluation and recommendations – 2012

IMPACT ON SECONDARY ROADS 13 International agreement (5 EU Regions) about the extension of the Directive to the secondary roads Common standards for training auditors and inspectors Recommendations for a common certification procedure
