Introduction
In order to improve and maintain road safety, the design of safer roads requires, on certain sections of road
and at particular locations, the installation of road restraint systems. These road systems are designated to
redirect and/or contain errant vehicles safely or to reduce the severity of vehicle impact with a more resistive
object, for the benefit of the occupants and other road users, including pedestrians. This will happen on
sections of road and at particular locations open to vehicle traffic, defined by the National or Local Authorities
with a specified performance level or category, chosen among those defined in this standard.
Additionally, the performances of road restraint systems and other information indicated in the standard and in
the Annexes can be useful for the installation by road safety designer or National or Local Authority.
