Overview

Preventive risk mapping is an effective instrument to help road authorities reduce the number of road traffic crashes and injuries, because design standards alone cannot guarantee road safety in all conditions.

iRAP surveys have now been undertaken by partners in more than 95 countries worldwide. Over 1,300,000km of roads have been risk mapped and more than 940,000km of roads have now been star rated. However, a startling 45% of motorists and 85% of pedestrians still travel on roads rated two stars or under according to the World Health Organization’s 2018 Global Road Safety Status Report. For more information on iRAP, please visit https://www.irap.org/.

This new course, jointly delivered by the International Road Federation and the International Road Assessment Program will assist road safety professionals translate risk mapping and road safety investment plans into treatment strategies and actionable measures on their road networks.

Course Outcomes

This course, jointly delivered by the International Road Federation (IRF Global) and International Road Assessment Program (iRAP) provides comprehensive resources and instruments for road professionals involved in road safety design and investment decisions. Its chief goal is to ensure the findings of iRAP surveys, as well as road safety audits and inspections are translated into prioritized road safety upgrades.
