Star rating roads for safety: UK trials 2006-07

The EuroRAP Road Protection Score provides a star rating for the safety built in to the road, based on how well its design would protect car occupants from severe injury in a collision. Each road is star-rated from 1 to 4, with 4-star representing a road engineered to minimise the likelihood of severe injury.

More than 7000km of UK roads were surveyed in 2006-07 in trials jointly funded by the Highways Agency and the IAM Motoring Trust.
