The workshop 'Infrastructure design and road safety ' was one of the initiatives which the OECO Steering Committee for Road Transport Research developed with the aim of exchanging information in the road transport sector, in order to respond to the urgent needs expressed by Central and Eastern European countries. Road safety was indicated as one of the priority areas. The workshop was held in Prague, Czech Republic on October 12-14, 1994. The workshop was attended by some 45 participants from 11 CEE countries and 4 from the West. Presentations were given on all major issues in the field of infrastructure design and road safety. Statements on road safety problems were given by 8 CEE countries. The workshop formulated general conclusions and recommendations at the end of the workshop and all participants expressed their opinion to intensify exchange of knowledge and experience on 'infrastructure design and road safety'. Based on the success of the works hop the participants expressed the wish to repeat a workshop like this and international organisations such as OECD, PIARC, the European Union (PHARE-programme) and banking institutions (World Bank, EBRD, etc.) are encouraged to feel responsible to organize or at least facilitate this technology transfer and possibilities for co-operation. The seminar was organised by the SWOY Institute for Road Safety Research in close cooperation with the Czech Ministry of Transport. The proceedings of the workshop are in 2 volumes: Part I: Summary report, conclusions and recommendations (D-94-14 I) and Part II: Lectures of the workshop (D-94-14 II)
