This report is aimed at the road safety effects of the mainport Rijnmond and Schiphol projects. Based on the implementation plans, it is noted that road safety is not included in the comprehensive approach pursued within these projects, nor have explicit objectives been stated on this point. The Rijnmond project in particular has been subjected to a closer inspection, on the principle that an optimal traffic solution can only be found by simultaneously considering the objectives of environment, mobility, accessibility and road safety. This has resulted in the formulation of some supplementary and alternative directions in the design of the road infrastructure. The possibilities of introducing road safety possibilities of introducing road safety effect reports to the main port projects in order to obtain more detailed prognoses and infrastructural alternatives are discussed.
