Implementation of RSA and RSI on secondary roads - EU project Pilot4Safety

The road safety performance of EU member states in 2001 - 2010 is the topic of the first part of the presentation, especially the comparison of the current development with the goals set up in 2001 to halve the number of fatalities. It is evident that the Czech Republic is under average performance of EU states. The critical topics are identified in this part of the presentation - unprotected road users, accidents on secondary road (two-lane roads in non-urban areas) and PTW. The recommendations made by ETSC are part of the presentation. Another topic, introduced here is the EU directive 2008/96/EC on Road Safety Infrastructure Management and its transposition into the Czech Republic. EU project Pilot4Safety is introduced in the final part of the presentation. Pilot4Safety aims to apply the Directive's approaches related to training and certification of Road Safety Experts for the application of Road Safety Audit and Road Safety Inspection procedures to selected secondary roads, in the EU Regions represented in the project. The idea is to share good practices and define common agreed training curricula and tools for qualification of road safety personnel. Verification in studies will take place to check if such qualifications can be reciprocally recognized in five different European Regions, with two field trials for each Region.
