International Road Assessment Programme
The International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) is a global initiative aimed at improving road safety by assessing the quality of road infrastructure. It provides a systematic approach to evaluate roads and identify potential hazards, helping to reduce the risk of accidents. iRAP works with governments, NGOs, and other stakeholders to promote safer road designs and implement effective safety measures.
Through its assessments, iRAP generates star ratings for roads, indicating their safety performance. The program also offers tools and resources for planning and prioritizing road safety investments. By focusing on evidence-based strategies, iRAP contributes to the broader goal of reducing road traffic injuries and fatalities worldwide.
