N2  - In 1980 the UK-based Institution of Highways and Transportation (IHT) produced the first version of their guidelines to assist local authorities in reducing road casualties. That award winning document helped set the road safety engineering agenda in the UK for the next 20 years. The original document focused strongly on organizing the functional aspects of road safety engineering  using accident investigation and prevention techniques, data collected from police records of road traffic collisions (RTCs) and low cost engineering remedial schemes. At the beginning of the 21st Century the IHT realized that a mere update of the original guidelines would not suffice; changes in the road safety environment and public sector service delivery meant that a radical re-write was necessary. This paper describes the document that emerged from that  project and a web-based initiative that was born from needs that became strongly apparent during the drafting of the guidelines: UK-MoRSE.<p />
