Road Safety

Beijing (People's Rep. of China)
18-20 October 2005

This Seminar was organized by the Ministry of Communications of the People's Republic of China (Research Institute of Highway, Road Safety Research Center, Traffic Engineering Supervision and Testing Center) and PIARC (C3.1).

Thanks to the considerable committment of the PIARC Technical Committee on Road Safety, especially the Chair Hans-Joachim Vollpracht, this Seminar met a frank success with more than 200 participants.

After two days of presentations and very interesting roundtable discussions, the participants visited the Ba Dalin Surveillance Centre and the reconstructed section of Ba Dalin Expressway. They also had the opportunity to walk on the Great Wall.
