The Institute for Road Safety Research SWOV is conducting large-scale research into traffic hazards in the province of Noord-Brabant for that province's Council and the Minister of Transport and Waterways. Besides the specific problems in Noord-Brabant, research is also being carried out into more general problems. One such problem is the occurrence of accidents on wet road surfaces. Although the report is focused on the situation as regards Noord-Brabant provincial roads, much of the information is also useful for road authorities in other provinces of the Netherlands. The document discusses briefly the following topics: Accidents on wet road surfaces--extent and causes; The road authorities' task; (Establishing norms, Tracing locations with a comparatively large number of wet-weather accidents, At intersections, in bends and at places where the view is obstructed good road-surface quality is needed to prevent accidents on wet road surfaces); What action can the road authority take (Road design, Road pavement, Road maintenance); and Accident control on existing roads.
