In Romania, the largest road infrastructure manager is National Company for Roads Infrastructure Administration – C.N.A.I.R S.A., which manages approximately 17,000 km of national roads and highways. Due to the high responsibilities of the largest road manager in Romania, is required to implement pilot road safety projects to observe the behavior of the technical solutions in time. During 2017 a pilot project to separate the traffic routes using cable road barrier was implemented on a road under management, namely DN 2, with a low level of road safety. The cable barrier is not a modern solution from the point of view of international experience, which is used frequently in countries such as Sweden and the United States but in Romania it was the first project of its kind. In this article, the pilot project implemented with all the technical solutions adopted as well as the results obtained after the completion of the implementation works will be presented. The presentation of the res...

As all Member States of the EU also Romania is a country that has made objective of reducing by 50% the number of deceased victims from road accidents, by 2020. To achieve the stated objective, it is necessary to implement rapid on the entire road network, technical solution to improve road infrastructure and increasing the visibility of drivers. In order to increase road safety by reducing the number of traffic accidents is required luminance increasing existing roads due to the key role of ensuring greater visibility. In the case of road infrastructure is used luminance, which is the amount of light fell on a surface and reflection. In this article we will present different solutions of increasing luminance on different road sections by changing minor technical solutions such as: a) choosing of different types of materials to build roundabouts and b) changing the size of geometric elements of road infrastructure. In this article will be presented the best technical solutions to ch...

In recognition of outstanding work in the field of road safety, especially for the implementation of road safety pilot projects, N.C.R.I.A.-S.A. was declared the winner. The road safety pilot projects that have attracted the attention of the IRF, being a model to follow for all road administrations are: Roller Barriers; Impact attenuators; Road sector 2+1; Cable Road barriers; Illumination of dangerous sectors with light assemblies; Projects to increase road safety by creating elevated road crossings. The International Road Federation (IRF) encourages all companies and organizations in the road development sector to get involved in the awards program it grants, because by promoting innovative ideas a positive and motivating influence can be created. The National Company for Road Infrastructure Administration S.A, Traffic Safety Service participated in the "Find a Way Global Road Safety Award" organized by IRF. In this article, the road safety projects are presented, with t...
