This Technical Report covers the phase of "EuroRAP I" and the work carried out during 2003. In this period the programme focussed on consolidating and extending the methodology and on increasing the number of countries involved. The programme has demonstrated that data from different time periods can be compared to provide an indication of the change in safety performance over time; methods have been developed for comparing safety performance between networks and between countries; potential links with existing engineering programmes have been clarified and the methodology for road inspections and scoring has been refined. The programme now provides a basis for a European safety monitor of road networks, which the European Commission could use as part of a regular assessment of road safety performance for member states.
