Passive Safety UK Guidelines click for download

The recently published ‘Passive Safety UK Guidelines for Specification and Use of Passively Safe Street Furniture on the UK Road Network’ from the Passive Revolution is now available to download here via the Leafield Highways website.

These guidelines are to assist Highway Authorities in employing passive safety to help make their roads safer. They make the case for passive safety, advise on how to employ passively safe street furniture and discuss targeting scarce resources to most benefit in safety and economic terms. These new guidelines target local authority roads where most ‘Killed and Serious Injured’ accidents occur.

The guidelines provide advice for the adoption and selection of the appropriate type of passively safe street furniture for all rural and urban roads.
