Title: SAFETY FOR LOW VOLUME UNPAVED ROADS - A NEW WAY FOR SAFER ROADS
Abstract: Modern societies have developed excellent practices and procedures for improving road safety but, most of these efforts have focused on safety issues on high volume paved roads. Worldwide, safety improvements are needed on low volume unpaved road safety. This paper also presents approaches used to improve local rural unpaved road safety. Safety improvements include definable benefits for the world; benefits that are practical, needed and acceptable. The examples presented in this paper serve as guidelines to define, analyze, and solve existing safety problems. Although techniques to improve local unpaved road safety use proven technology, the acceptance of the approach reported in the paper will advance the state-of-the-art by developing into a format which can be used by real world practitioners. Case study surveys of practitioners, users and safety experts are presented to help define the proposed safety improvement program. A Delphi procedure was used to document the final analysis approach.
