Abstract

In an effort to address the roadside safety problem, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program assembled a distinguished group of experts and charged them with the task of identifying ways to improve roadside safety. In their deliberations, they formulated a vision, missions, goals, objectives, and actions for improving roadside safety. The subdivision of the missions and goals into objectives, actions, and needs allows the roles of the various agents to be highlighted, action agendas formulated, and needs for research identified. This presentation highlights some of the actions that can be effective, the implementation efforts that are necessary, and areas where research is needed.
