Improving road safety through proper pavement engineering and maintenance should be one of the major objectives of pavement management systems. When pavements are evaluated in terms of safety, a number of factors related to pavement engineering properties are raised, such as pavement geometric design, paving materials and mix design, pavement surface properties, shoulder type, pavement color and visibility. Each year there are voluminous annual reports and discussions on various road safety issues. While road safety may be considered as a separate entity, It should be incorporated into pavement management systems. This paper first identifies the main pavement engineering relationships associated with road safety. It then discusses the various aspects of road safety actors related to pavement management, such as pavement types, pavement surface macrotexture and microtexture, pavement safety measurements, criteria and evaluation methods. A systematic approach is proposed to coordinating pavement maintenance programs with road safety improvement, and incorporating or integrating safety management with pavement and other management systems. Finally, the paper recommends a list of possible remedial measures of road safety improvements associated with pavement maintenance activities.
