By order of the Dienst Verkeerskunde of the Ministry of Transport and Public Works, the current situation around the safety of road side safety constructions in the Netherlands and the possible consequences of a number of future developments were analyzed by SWOV Institute for Road Safety Research. In this context, new developments in traffic circumstances and the application of new materials are reviewed. It appears from accident data that the current safety constructions along motorways are adequate. It is expected that this will also be in the near future, provided that there is neither a significant increase nor considerable change in traffic composition. In the longer term, an almost free maintenance construction method should be designed. Maintenance and reparation activities will increasingly lead to an unacceptable delay and lack of traffic safety as traffic volumes increase. Research is recommended.
