Recognizable layout of roads; Final report of the predictability projects in SWOV's 2003-2006 research programme. English summary: This final report summarizes what is known about the recognizability of roads and what recent SWOV research on this has produced. It first explains what the underlying idea is of the Sustainable Safety principle of predictability. Then it sketches the current situation in practice and considers how the Essential Recognizability Characteristics ('EHK') guideline materialized and was implemented. Much of the information comes from an inventory study about recognizable layout and predictable behaviour. This inventory study was the first one in the SWOV project on the predictability of roads (part of the research programme 2003-2006).
