Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR)

For many years now, CEDR has required all of its contractors (and their subcontractors) to confirm their attention to our road safety requirements. Although European law does not currently allow us to impose these conditions as additional requirements for bidders, we are applying them as a condition of the way that a contractor carries out the work for us. These conditions require that; For driving ✓ Employees are recommended to receive re-training and refresher courses at regular periods and/or when changing vehicles (especially vehicles with new features). ✓ Employees receive clear (written) guidelines to actively discourage distracted driving (e.g. texting). ✓ Employees receive clear (written) guidelines to actively discourage speeding. ✓ Employees receive clear (written) guidelines to avoid driving when tired including after work. ✓ Employees receive clear (written) guidelines to avoid driving in adverse weather conditions and understand that they can cancel journeys or make other arrangements. ✓ In addition, contractors are invited to provide any details of re-training and refresher courses required of employees at regular periods and/or when changing vehicles (especially vehicles with new features). Vehicles ✓ Where applicable, all vehicles purchased or leased by the organisation shall meet at least the Euro NCAP - For Safer Cars, Vans & Trucks 5-star criteria and shall wherever possible include C-ITS Day 1/1.5 services. ✓ All vehicles used by any employees for any professional purposes, including the private vehicles of employees, are required to be maintained to manufacturers requirements and employees are instructed to make regular checks of basic features (tyres, windscreen washer etc). Planning ✓ Risk assessments ensure that all professional journeys shall be planned to give sufficient time for employees to drive within the applicable speed limits and provide adequate time for rest breaks. ✓ Measures are in place to ensure that the schedule of working shall be arranged to ensure that adequate rest breaks and sleeping times are ensured before any driving tasks. Sub-contractors ✓ Procurement practices are in place to ensure that all sub-contractors and suppliers are encouraged to follow road safety requirements. These are a small step within the limits currently available, but have created a discussion with, and within, our contractors and we continue to look at ways to encourage continual improvement within our supply chains. #VisionZero #RoadSafety Any comments and suggestions?

🛣️ Transport Infrastructure Ireland’s National Roads and Greenways Conference was last week, and we had 29 excellent speakers, from Ireland and abroad, who spoke on a variety of transport themes relevant to National Roads and Greenways.   Over 350 attendees from local authorities gathered to hear about new approaches and developments in transport. Athlone proved to be a great location with its central location in the country served very well by National Road and Greenway infrastructure.   👏 We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to attend and present at the conference. It was a valuable opportunity for networking and meaningful conversations.   If you are interested in seeing what was presented, please click here to view the slides - https://lnkd.in/dz-V3Zrc #greenways, #sustainabletransport, #NR2040, #NationalRoads, #NationalCycleNetwork (NCN), #ActiveTravel, #MovingTogether #Greenways #sustainabletransport, #NR2040, #NationalRoads, #NationalCycleNetwork (NCN), #ActiveTravel, #MovingTogether Eamon Ryan Hughes Helen Barry Kehoe Westmeath County Council Sian Kerr Denise Keoghan Department of Transport Bernhard Hintermayer Donal Minnock, Anne Graham National Transport Authority Kelly McCarthy Glenn Hingerty Dermot Donovan Richard Bowen Ivor Heavey Dan Brennan Steven O'Gara Fáilte Ireland Sarah-Jane Phelan Ph.D. Dimitris Michailidis (CEng MIEI) Martin Deegan Pam Sheridan John McCarthy Kieran Feighan Stephen Smyth Vincent O'Malley John Martin Gerry Baker Arup PJ Hourigan Jenny Dunwoody Eoin King Derek Brady James Walsh Deirdre Miller Claire Scott MetroLink James Dowling CEng MIEI Michelle Lindsay Thomas D Allen, Oonagh Duffy, Cormac Collins, Michael O'Connor, Ambrose Clarke, Geraldine Fitzpatrick, Fiona Bohane, Damian McDermott, Aine McHugh,
