In France, after the awareness of the 1970s and the political agenda set in 2002, remarkable and unprecedented results have been achieved in road safety. However, the ambition remains not to consider road mortality as a price to pay for modernity, and the new objectives set in relation to international standards such as those of the WHO or the UN will not be achieved. Worse, since 2013, the indicators [...]

Measures for the maintenance and operation of roads (e.g. reparation of potholes, road marking) are generally implemented within the framework of short-term roadworks sites. Safety Trailers, traffic cones or warning beacons are installed in stationary short-term roadworks sites to separate the traffic area from the work area. This means that the personnel are not protected by solid protective devices [...]

Highways Engineers and Planners often rely on priority junctions, often known as T-junctions, as the simplest and cheapest way of connecting new developments to the existing road network. Whilst priority junctions may be the simplest and most common junction on our roads, they are also one of the most dangerous junction forms. In Great Britain there are nearly 30,000 collisions a year at priority [...]
