2. OBJECTIVE

OF THE

GUIDELINES

• The objective of these guidelines is to have a minimum common approach on road safety for all MDBs. This means a common approach for Road Safety in general, and in particular for MDB funded road and transport projects, as well as other projects that generate important amount of traffic.

• This approach takes in account the fact thatMBDs have a strong relation with road, transportation and infrastructure agencies due to the projects that they finance.

• These guidelines intend to take advantage of this situation with the aim to enhance roadsafety in the countries, cities and regionswhere they work.
