This article aims to proactively predict high-risk accident areas in a new highway project in terms of its technical and geometric characteristics. The purpose of this study is to provide road project managers with better road safety assessment tools for the vehicle occupant category. The methodology used combines the International Road Assessment Program (IRAP) methodology and the Geographic Information System (GIS). The IRAP program enables the calculation and classification of risks for each 100-meter segment besides their categorization using a star rating; whereas, the GIS is used to map the risks and identify high-risk accident segments. This method was applied to a new highway project of 110 hectometres located in GHAZAOUET in Algeria. The results of the study revealed that this combined method is innovative in more than one way as it is an effective decision-making aid tool for road safety experts. It, therefore, makes it possible to target accident-prone sections in a faster way before carrying out on site road safety inspections. Technically speaking, this study shows that the existence of closely curved radii mixed at traffic speeds exceeding 80 km/h and the presence of road exits are the main factors affecting the safety of vehicle occupants. Speed control; thus, remains one among the cheapest measures to improve safety.

“…These indicators relate to a specific area and the assumed period of the analysis. In 2020, a work was published on a modern methodology that allows for quick identification of critical road sections at low costs (Tripodi et al, 2020). The methodology was verified on the basis of road safety assessment on rural roads in Mozambique, based on the analysis of video images collected with a dashcam or smartphone.…”

In recent years, numerous measures to modernize local roads in rural areas have been undertaken. Unfortunately, during renovations, especially at the poviat and commune level, errors are often made as a consequence of irregularities arising at the design stage. The article presents an assessment of the quality of local road renovations carried out in the last fifteen years, in the context of maintaining operational parameters over time, using a visual method based on the term “risk”. The research was carried out for twenty-six sections of roads that were renovated or rebuilt in the Kłobuck and Częstochowa poviats. The categories of the most common errors were identified and actions were proposed to correct them and prevent new ones. Among the negative trends, the improper placement of road technical devices and the lack of appropriate marking of integral areas were distinguished. It was found that a positive aspect in the aspect of traffic safety, recently, is the widespread use of modern road marking systems and road signs, as well as greater care for proper maintenance of drainage devices. The use of modern solutions during the modernization of roads, despite co-financing from the Government Fund, is still limited by the financial deficit of local governments.
