Run‐off‐road (ROR) crashes are extremely severe road accidents that can often result in severe injuries or fatalities. Selection of Appropriate Vehicle Restraint Systems (SAVeRS) is a project funded within the CEDR 2012 Transnational Road Research Programme “Safety”. This chapter discusses the findings from the work packages within the SAVeRS project i.e. to define the different parameters which can influence the need and selection of VRS, from both a review of national guidelines and standards, and from an associated review of published literature. The available literature on the placement of VRS focuses on safety barriers. Information on terminals, transitions and attenuators is scarce. Most of the studies make comparative analyses on accident rate and severity on road segments before and after the placement of safety barriers. The median barrier focuses on the effectiveness in reducing accident rate and severity against the option of wider central reserves.
