Run-off-road (ROR) crashes are a major type of road crash that results in death and serious injury. There are numerous reasons as to why vehicles leave the roadway and encroach onto the roadside environment. These reasons include lack of driver concentration or inattention, driver fatigue, driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, excessive speed, poor visibility, inadequate visual cues of the road path, poor road condition and vehicle failure (e.g. brake failure, worn tyres, etc.). To reduce the incidence of ROR crashes and to support the safe road system concept and goals, the need to take a strategic approach to treating and managing roadside hazards, so as to minimise their potential to cause injury or death, is essential. The purpose of this guide is to assist road safety practitioners to minimise the risk of ROR crashes.
