This second edition of the Road Safety Manual is the outcome of a project undertaken by the World Road Association (PIARC) as a contribution to the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety, to help all countries building capacity for managing road safety.

This project, launched in 2012, was undertaken under the editorial responsibility of a Task Force led by Michael Griffith, Director, Office of Safety Technologies, Federal Highway Administration, USA.

Management of the project and of the web development in particular were carried out under the responsibility of Jean-François Corté, Secretary General of the World Road Association.

Development of the conceptual framework of the Manual and drafting of the chapters was performed by a group of experts under the responsibility of the ARRB Group (Australia) selected after an international call for proposals. For this project, Blair Turner was the principal investigator and coordinator of the work.
