European Commission - Road Infrastructure Safety Management Report 2015

 

The European Commission has recently released a 'Study on the effectiveness and on the improvement of the EU legislative framework on road infrastructure safety management',  prepared by Transport & Mobility Leuven. The overall objective of this study was to assist the European Commission with the evaluation of Directive 2008/96/EC on road infrastructure safety management and to investigate possible changes in the light of new technological developments. The specific objectives of the study were:

1) To carry out an ex-post evaluation of the application of Directive 2008/96/EC. What were the main impacts of its application on road safety? What steps were taken to implement the Directive? What is the relevance of the Directive?

2) To provide a preliminary analysis of the possible areas of improvement with regards to road safety and the safety of road infrastructure in particular. 

NTUA Professor George Yannis contributed to the respective stakeholder consultation.
