Central reserves can play a major role in providing for a long-term safe infrastructure at road intersections situated outside built-up areas. They can improve the quality of pedestrian crossings and, in so doing, increase traffic safety. For a long time, narrow central reserves were almost always regarded as the best option, but research has shown that this is not the case. This has resulted in a review of the applicability of central reserves. Two significant questions are at the basis of this publication. Firstly: In what situations are central reserves desirable and undesirable. Secondly: How would it be possible to achieve a (more) uniform use of central reserves on 'RONA' category V and VI road (roads entirely or partially closed to slow traffic). To find answers to these questions, the relationship between traffic accidents and road and traffic conditions at intersections outside built-up areas was analyzed using a very extensive database. This study has yielded a great deal of new insight.
