The object of this project is to find appropriate measures relating to the road, the traffic (e.g. traffic regulations) and the side clearance of the road, in order to reduce the number of run-off-road accidents and also to lessen the injury caused by these accidents. Different types of measures may be considered in order to achieve this. The number of run-off-road accidents can be reduced by e.g. improved road across section, alignment, lower speed limit or by the introduction of stationary road lighting. The consequential injury due to these accidents can be lessened by suitable design of the road side section with regard to width, presence of solid objects, evenness, gradient, treatment of solid objects so as to give them a soft surface texture, erection of road barriers, and imposition of a lower speed limit.
