Abstract
This brochure comprehensively covers the topic of extra-urban road safety. Road accidents in Germany cause annual economic losses in excess of €30 billion; extra-urban roads account for approximately one third of the losses. In addition to the EuroRAP protocols, this brochure presents other methodology for the documentation and analysis of road accidents and for road safety management, including methodology which is mandatory in Germany. Infrastructure safety deficits are mostly an issue of older extra-urban roads. A range of measures can contribute to a reduction of deficits, leading to safer existing roads. (Author/publisher)
