Crowthorne, Berkshire, Transport Research Laboratory TRL, 2009, 22 p., ref.; Published Project Report ; PPR 200 - ISSN 0968-4093 / ISBN 978-1-84608-797-4 This report examines the data available on the distribution of rural road casualties and the factors contributing to their occurrence, and gives the author’s view of the potential policy options available for future improvement of rural road safety on non-trunk roads. It discusses potential countermeasures, and resulting casualty reductions. Star rating roads for safety: the iRAP methodology. Basingstoke, International Road Assessment Programme iRAP, 2009, 25 p. Protecting against human error, and recognising that mistakes are an intrinsic part of human behaviour, is fundamental to the now widely supported ‘safe system’ approach to road safety. iRAP Star Ratings are based on road inspection data and provide a simple and objective measure of the level of safety which is ‘built-in’ to the road for car occupants, motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians.
