7 7 7 Titre et sous-titreWhat makes a road a safe road ? Date de l'exposéBrussels – 13 october 2010 Seven Criteria for Road Safety (4/8) Vehicle Dynamics Vehicle Dynamics Do the road characteristics (crossfall, grip, surface) avoid vehicle dynamics problems (skidding…) ? Bad surface grip due to bleeding Surface with long waves

8 8 8 Titre et sous-titreWhat makes a road a safe road ? Date de l'exposéBrussels – 13 october 2010 Seven Criteria for Road Safety (5/8) Road shoulders Road shoulders Can an user, running off the road, takes back control of its vehicle, using road shoulders ?

10 10 Titre et sous-titreWhat makes a road a safe road ? Date de l'exposéBrussels – 13 october 2010 Seven Criteria for Road Safety (7/8) Road coherence Road coherence Are all the road elements (speed limitation, traffic signs, road marking, cross section) coherent with the function of the road ? High speed limit with cycle path, parking area and build-up area. Rural environment, no transition area but a city sign => speed limit is 50 km/h

Date de l'exposéBrussels – 13 october 2010 Global procedures (1/7) Two complementary methodologies: - Preventive methodologies (Road Safety Impact Assessment, Road Safety Inspections, Road Safety Audits) - Reactive methodologies (Network Safety Management) Methodologies developed and improved with international exchanges (PIACR, CEDR, Bilateral cooperations) Included in the spirit of the EU Directive 2008/96/EC
