•Road Safety Technical Specifications focused on the user-oriented design approach;
•Road Safety Inspection on the current highway focused on the pavement condition;
•Review in terms of visibility analysis and speed range
•Road Safety Detailed Design (restrain systems, signs, road markings, lighting), including FEA (Finite Element Analysis) ;
•Road Accident Analysis based on available accidents data over the last years;
•Local roads strengthening with regards to safety levels ensured;
•Realization of new bicycle path (30 km).
