EuroRAP's Protocols

EuroRAP provides three protocols for measuring and communicating road safety risk that can be applied to any country.

Risk Mapping	Colour-coded maps showing the risk of death and serious injury that road-users face on different roads with extra mapping for road authorities.
Performance Tracking	Identifying whether fewer people are being killed or seriously injured on a road over time and identifying the countermeasures that are most effective.
Star Rating	A Star Rating showing how well a road protects road-users if a crash occurs.

All these protocols are now being prepared to ISO quality standards.

EuroRAP has also helped create a new international organisation, iRAP (International Road Assessment Programme), so that these protocols and other guidelines can be applied consistently anywhere in the world.

In addition, a team of international road safety experts are preparing a best practice document to provide guidelines on how to design countermeasures to tackle risky roads.
