Roadside Infrastructure for Safer European Roads (RISER) D06: European Best Practice for Roadside Design: Guidelines for Roadside Infrastructure on New and Existing Roads

Abstract

The European Commission Directorate General for Transportation and Energy (DGTREN) sponsored a research project to investigate the best practice guidelines for roadside infrastructure. The RISER consortium has compiled the following document which is a synthesis of existing practice in Europe with additional information collected from accident and human behaviour studies. Several technical reports developed in the RISER project were the basis for this document and can provide more technical information. The information contained in this document should be used in conjunction with the document 'European Best Practice for Roadside Design: Guidelines for Maintenance and Operations of Roadside Infrastructure'.
