EuroRAP Lunchtime seminars - Star Rating.

2 March 2022

 EuroRAP’s Lunchtime seminar series continues this month. 

The series provides information about the EuroRAP protocols through the ‘RAP basics’ online seminars, insight into iRAP research and innovation through our ‘Hot topic’ seminars, and inspiration for EuroRAP programmes through our ‘National schemes spotlight’ seminars. Along with a national schemes’ forum, these three seminar types are being presented in rotation giving us food for thought every month.

The virtual seminar series is aimed at all EuroRAP partners and other interested parties – from automobile clubs to road authorities, to researchers.

Details and recordings of previous Lunchtime seminars and registration details can be found here.

Star Rating is used for road safety inspections, road safety impact assessments, and designs. Star Rating is an objective measure of the level of safety which is ‘built-in’ to the road through more than 50 road attributes that influence risk for vehicle occupants, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. It reflects the risk as it relates to an individual road user. 1-Star roads have the highest risk and 5-Star roads have the lowest risk.
