Road Safety Programme
Despite improvements road safety during the last, more than 27,000 people lost their lives approximately 1,5 millions were injured on Europe's roads. The ERF Road Safety Programme serves to promote the important contribution the road infrastructure can provide in making our roads safer.

Road Marking & Signs (RMS)
Work Zone Safety (WZS)
The ERF Infrastructure Safety Forum
The Infrastructure Safety Forum is an initiative launched by the European Union Road Federation (ERF) as part of its commitments towards better road safety. The Forum hosts discussions aimed at highlighting the life-saving potential of safer road engineering.

Training Workshops
ERF firmly believes in the value of sharing "best in Europe" know-how and is offering road authorities in Central & Eastern Europe an opportunity to familiarise themselves with successful road engineering practices through a series of "on demand" training workshops.
The guiding principles behind these workshops is to offer a comprehensive overview of the safety contribution of better designed, built and operated road networks through interactive presentations delivered by some of Europe's foremost road safety professionals.
