This publication contains papers and abstracts presented at the TRB First International Roadside Safety Conference: Safer Roads, Saving Lives, Saving Money; June 12-15, 2017; San Francisco, California. The primary objective of the Conference was to support and advance global efforts to reduce deaths and serious injuries associated with run-off-road crashes. The TRB First International Roadside Safety Conference contributed to this objective through: (1) peer exchange and improved dissemination of information within the international roadside safety community; (2) increased collaboration amongst international roadside safety experts, researchers, government agencies, and engineering consultants; and (3) assisting with a more rapid implementation of new technologies, best practices, and products from around the world. The E-Circular is organized by the conference subthemes: Advancements in Roadway Safety Features; Innovations in Roadside Safety Hardware and Features; Roadside Safety Design and Hazard Mitigation; Roadway Departure Data Collection and Analysis; Safety Policy, Guidelines, Plans, Programs, and Strategies; Simulation, Testing, and Evaluation Methods; and Vehicle Technologies and Safety Considerations. The views expressed in the papers and the abstracts contained in this publication are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Transportation Research Board, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, the National Research Council, or the cosponsors of the conference.
