Despite Europe being a global leader in road safety, around 25,000 road users (working, walking, driving or riding a bicycle) did not make it home in 2015 and more than 200,000 others sustained life-changing or serious injuries.
Leading Safety Lawyer Paul Verrico, a Partner of European law firm Eversheds will present the ERICLeeds16 ROAD SAFETY DEBATE. He will argue that organisations in the UK face ever increasing sanctions through new sentencing guidelines for health and safety and corporate manslaughter.
ERIC 2016 will be the most significant road infrastructure event this year. The programme is firming up with high level industry speakers and exhibition space is rapidly filling up. Delegates from across Europe and beyond are booking their place to ensure an “early bird” rate for the event.
It will also be this year’s networking event because of the congress’s extensive social programme, including a reception at the iconic Leeds Civic Hall.
The event will showcase the best of the UK specialist Road Marking sector as well as seek to position the UK at the centre of defining policy across Europe.

With the majority of convictions for corporate manslaughter involving some element of transport, Eversheds lawyer Verrico will outline what lessons other jurisdictions can learn – comparing the regimes in mainland Europe with the UK.
ERICLeeds16 will offer opportunities to increase knowledge through learning from experts addressing:
• How can the main players involved in road infrastructure work better together to identify practical solutions that enable Europe to achieve its target of 50% cut in road fatalities in 2020 and the UN strategic commitments to improve road safety?
• How do we make safety a priority when investing in the network through new roads and through routine maintenance?
• Can safe road design eliminate risk on the high speed network?
• What actions are being taken to address route improvements, crash protection and standards of road management?

The 2016 event will bring together policy makers, academics, research institutes, road authorities and industry representatives from across the continent to explore the following three major themes:
• Delivery of Road Infrastructure: how can both the UK and Europe improve its delivery model in a way that enables road authorities to ask for better solutions, provides industry with more incentives for innovation and road users with an optimal use of public resources
• Road Safety: in view of the recent slowdown in fatality reduction figures across the UK and the wider EU, how can the main players involved in the road infrastructure sector work better together in order to identify practical solutions that enable Europe to achieve its target of a 50% cut in road fatalities
• Adaptation of road infrastructure in view of technological changes: innovations in vehicle technologies and the road infrastructure itself will mean that the road of the future will differ significantly to what it is today. Among others, the theme will examine the challenges posed by road automation for the road infrastructure sector and the role of roads in Europe's future socio-economic model in view of innovations such as energy harvesting infrastructure.
