Roadway Departure Crashes are a significant factor in Road Traffic Injuries (Fatalities and Seriously Injured) in all countries around the world.   Roads must be designed and properly maintained to keep vehicles on the road in the appropriate directional lane.  Roads also must be designed and properly maintained to be “Forgiving,” meaning that when a driver makes an inevitable mistake, the motorist will have a reduced chance of paying for the mistake with capital punishment or a serious injury.  This session will help road authorities and consultants better understand some of the best practices and state of the art technologies being used to keep vehicles on the road or to provide for a safe recovery if they do leave the road and to reduce the crash severity of Roadway Departure Crashes.
