Dear colleagues and friends, The "Road Safety Manual" is a reference which was developed by PIARC to share road safety knowledge with the greatest possible number of people. The manual started in 2003 as a printed compendium. Since 2015, the manual is presented in a new form: a website, accessible to all, free of charge. It is based on the principles of the Safe System and on the United Nations road safety pillars. It is structured in twelve main chapters which are intended to be educational, as each subject is accompanied by case studies and numerous illustrations, and it benefits from tools such as a glossary and search functionalities [...] >> Read more

Technical Committees have a 4-year work cycle to explore their subjects in detail. Task Forces, however, focus on emerging topics and have shorter delivery times and more compact mandates. This is because their topics are urgent, and PIARC member countries need a quicker answer. All Technical Committees started their work cycle in January 2020, while the two new Task Forces, with their shorter work cycle of only 2 years, kicked off in November. Watch Jan Pettersson, chair of Task Forces 2.2 Electric Road Systems, and Mariusz Kieć, chair of TF 4.1 Road Design Standards, present the work of their respective TFs for the 2020-2023 work cycle. >> Watch their interviews here!
