The Socio-Economic Benefits of Roads in Europe was produced by the International Road Federation (IRF) Research Council in 2007 and offers an informative insight into roads as a key sector of the European economy. This study demonstrates the tremendous economic impact of roads and road transport-related sectors on the European economy. It encompasses relevant statistics and reports on who uses the roads and why, the social and economic impact of roads and road transport, and the current demand for improved infrastructure and sustainable development on the continent’s road networks.

If you click on this link, you will find complete road safety profiles of 25 EU Member States. Each profile is available in downloadable PDF format and contains up-to-date statistics dating back to October 2005, plus a full report on the evolution of road safety, government programmes, and present and future initiatives to reduce road fatalities. Within these reports, you will also find contact information for each country, as well as useful links to external resources that may be of interest.

The brochure "Road Safety 2010 - How is your country doing?" contains statistical information on each Member State’s road safety progress between 2001 and 2009. It seeks to enable Member States to compare their situations and encourage them to continue their efforts regarding road safety.

 This 92 pages paper highlights challenges and opportunities in road safety research in Europe, describing the contribution from the European Community’s Research Framework Programmes as well as from other research activities at European level and their impact on road transport safety sector. Consideration is also given to new activities that could or should be undertaken in support of increased safety on our roads and for efficient policy implementation.

This document is a collection of best practices at national scale and aims to present the project’s results to national/regional policy and decision makers across Europe, thereby encouraging the adoption of successful road safety strategies and measures.
