(2) According to the Safe System approach, death and serious injury in road accidents is largely preventable. It should be a shared responsibility at all levels to ensure that road crashes do not lead to serious or fatal injuries. In particular, well- designed and properly maintained roads should reduce the probability of road traffic accidents, whilst "“forgiving"” roads (roads laid out in an intelligent way to ensure that driving errors do not immediately have serious or fatal consequences) should reduce the severity of traffic accidents.

(4) The road infrastructure safety management procedures implemented on the trans-European network have helped reduce fatalities and serious injuries in the Union. It is clear from the evaluation of the effects of Directive 2008/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council15 that Member States which have been applying road infrastructure safety management ('‘RISM'’) principles on a voluntary basis to their national roads beyond the TEN-T network have achieved a much better road safety performance than Member States which do not do so. It is therefore also desirable for these principles (‘RISM’) to be applied to other parts of the European road network. _________________ 15 Directive 2008/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on road infrastructure safety management (OJ L 319, 29.11.2008, p. 59).

(5) A large proportion of road accidents occur on a small proportion of roads where traffic volumes and speeds are high and where there is a wide range of traffic travelling at different speeds. Therefore the limited extension of the scope of Directive 2008/96/EC to motorways and all primary roads beyond the TEN-T network should contribute significantly to the improvement of road infrastructure safety across the Union.
