Dear readers,
Our Association's activities are structured through a 4-year Strategic Plan, which is based on our members' priorities. It is also a good management tool which is necessary to drive the activities of our 1,200 international experts. One theme that has emerged more than 20 years ago and remains at the forefront of our priorities is road safety.
Over the years, PIARC has developed an extensive body of knowledge with technical reports and manuals that cover the whole range of issues: methodologies for road safety audits and inspections, guidelines for remedial measures, report on combating driver distraction and fatigue, recommendations on better taking human factors into account in the design and operations of roads, etc.. These reports and online manual are available for free and provide international best practice, tools, case studies, check lists... that can be used by countries at all stages of development.

Teheran (Iran), 10-11 May 2018
For the first time, a meeting of the PIARC Committee on Terminology was hosted in Iran. Members from Belgium, Austria, France, Switzerland, Spain and Iran worked on different sections to improve the PIARC Road Dictionary. After successive attempts by CTERM to include more languages into the PIARC Road Dictionary, Iran appointed a delegate to this committee in 2011. Since then, Iran has made considerable efforts to translate the PIARC online Road Dictionary into Persian, which is 51% accomplished to date
