EuroRAP is an international not-for profit association formed by motoring organisations and road authorities throughout Europe to work together for improvements to the safety of Europe’s roads.
It is a sister programme to EuroNCAP, the safety programme that crash tests cars and awards them stars for safety.
The aim of EuroRAP is to provide a safety rating for roads across Europe. This will generate consumer information for the public and give road engineers and planners vital benchmarking information to show them how well, or badly, their roads are performing compared with others, both in their own and other countries.
The primary objectives of EuroRAP are to:
- reduce death and serious injury on European roads rapidly through a programme of systematic testing of risk that identifies major safety shortcomings which can be addressed by practical road improvement measures;
- ensure assessment of risk lies at the heart of strategic decisions on route improvements, crash protection and standards of route management.
