Road Safety Engineering E-learning Course
About the Course
This Road Safety Engineering E-learning Course has been developed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to provide comprehensive guidance on how ensure road development projects prioritise safety for all road users. It aims to give road engineers, designers and planners a robust introduction to the fundamental principles of good road safety engineering and auditing based on a Safe System Approach.
The high-quality content, developed in collaboration with global road safety and engineering experts, covers 15 core topics related to road safety engineering and audit from speed management to stakeholder engagement to climate resilience. It provides participants with an understanding of the different measures essential for well-functioning road infrastructure safety management as required under EU Directive 2008/96/EC on Road Infrastructure Safety Management.
{Update October 2021: Serbian version of the e-learning course added.}
{Update July 2021: Module 1 updated with the latest information on Decade of Action on Road Safety 2021-2030; Module 2 and Module 6 slides corrected/updated; Module 2 quiz questions corrected.}
