Overview
Background & policy context:
Accidents which have occurred in tunnels have brought to light the danger that the perpendicular end-wall of laybys can present to road users in tunnels.
Various European representatives of the PIARC Road Tunnel Operations Committee engaged in discussions on the topic of laybys and lateral obstacles in tunnels. A workshop was organized on this issue in 2013.
Objectives:
The project summarizes the current practices in the field of laybys and protection against lateral obstacles in Europe.
