This report has been prepared for and funded by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Energy and Transport in the framework of the project 'The preparation of the European Road Safety Action Program 2011-2020'. The objectives of the project are two-fold: 1) carrying out an ex-post evaluation of the measures contained in the current Road Safety Action Programme 2001-2010 (RSAP); 2) carrying an impact assessment for the next European Road Safety Action Programme 2011-2020 (ERSAP). The ex-post evaluation of the 62 measures of the RSAP 2001-2010 is presented in Volume 1. This report focuses on the state of implementation and the impacts of the measures, looking at the: effectiveness: what effects, in road safety-terms, have been obtained by the measures?; efficiency: how economically have the various inputs been converted into outputs and results (costeffectiveness)? Were the (expected) effects obtained at a reasonable cost (quantified cost/benefits analysis)?; consistency: is the measure consistent with other measures that have the same or a comparable objective?; sustainability: will the effects achieved last in the medium or long term?; negative effects from non-implementation: what effects have resulted from the non-implementation of measures compared with the estimated effects of their implementation? A comprehensive analysis is performed for each measure and at aggregate level. (Author/publisher)
