This circular is a record of a meeting hosted by the International Research Subcommittee of the Roadside Safety Design Committee in Milan, Italy, on July 17, 2012. The meeting was organized by Mike Dreznes and Rod Troutbeck, cochairs of the subcommittee. One hundred and eighteen delegates from 15 countries attended the Milan meeting of the International Research Subcommittee; Appendix B lists the attendees. Presenters were asked to submit a summary of the presentations, which are included in this circular. The papers give a sense of what was discussed and should be useful for researchers and practitioners alike. There were 27 presentations grouped around four contemporary themes: assessment practices, safety systems, best practices, and other road safety products and issues.
