1 Hungary Road Risk Mapping: Design Specification December 213

2 Hungary Road Risk Mapping: Technical Specification The Hungary Road Risk Map specification is based on is based on an A3 landscape map format. 1. Colour-coded risk bandings In order to show the varying levels of risk across a road network, individual road sections are allocated into one of five colour coded risk bandings. The standard RAP Road Risk Mapping colour palette is based on five colour bands signifying low to high risk. See Section 4.1 for the colour specifications in RGB, CMYK, and html formats. The standardisation of colours provides an internationally recognised system allowing comparisons across borders, i.e. a black road in one country is the same as a black road in another. The colour palette has been designed to meet the following criteria, it: achieves international consensus is based on the significance of particular colours (such as black and red to signify danger) in different countries and is therefore meaningful to a wide audience means adjoining colours are easily distinguishable from one another ensures that the information is clear and distinguishable when presented in a variety of media (online, print, high resolution, low resolution) RAP Road Risk Mapping is based on the distribution of risk across a road network. The weighting given to each of the five bandings, i.e. the proportion of road sections falling into each of the categories, were chosen to ensure that a substantial number of road sections on a varied network in high performing countries, fell into each banding, whilst highlighting the small but significant number of sections with very high risk. RAP Road Risk Mapping gives various insights to risk for different audiences. For road-users it is important that the output demonstrates how risk can change across a network, leading to a better understanding and awareness of why some roads are safer than others. For road providers, the output, when used alongside existing approaches, can help in setting realistic targets for improvements. Page 2 of 9

3 Hungary Road Risk Mapping: Technical Specification 2. Cartographic specifications The following section describes the design and cartographic components of RAP Road Risk Mapping that are used to present results to internationally consistent standards Colour specifications The standard colour palette for RAP Road Risk Mapping is based on a traffic light system using a continuum from dark, signifying high risk, to light, signifying low risk. The standardisation of colours provides an internationally recognised system and allows comparisons across borders RGB colour palette Table 1.

4 Hungary Road Risk Mapping: Technical Specification 3. Standardised RAP Road Risk Mapping elements The following section sets out the style template that should be followed for RAP Road Risk Mapping. N.B. The following specifications are included as guidelines only. Exact specifications will vary according to the size of the output and the density of the road network assessed. For example, while elements such as the colour of the sea and land will not be affected by output size, the optimum width of roads and the associated road numbers and road type casings will depend on the density of the network being assessed. Road widths may need to be increased on large output sizes, such as posters, to ensure that the risk banding colours of individual sections, and the distribution of risk across the network, can be easily seen. On smaller size outputs, such as in printed reports, road widths may need to be decreased to ensure that they can be easily distinguished. Producing standard RAP Road Risk Mapping is therefore an iterative process. The aim is to achieve international consistency within the recognised RAP brand while at the same time producing output that is fit for purpose. It is recommended that all mapping is printed and reviewed at the intended output size, and amendments made as necessary, prior to final publication. Page 4 of 9

6 Standardised RAP Road Risk Mapping cartographic elements Sea 2c m y k, with no key line. Lakes should not be included where they detract from the risk rating of individual road sections. Rivers should not be named Land White fill c m y k, and no key line. Land within map bounds but outside of featured country/region to be shaded pale green (5c m 1y k). Coastal key line defined separately below. Coastline Key line only, 8c m y k,.15mm line weight as per lake outline. International boundary Line weight.8mm, dashed - 3. mm dash 1.25mm gap, coloured c m y 5k. Road network Overall line weight of motorways or highways to be 2.8mm, overall line weight of dual, single and mixed carriageways 2.mm. Wide grey road casing on motorways c m y 7k, narrow grey casing on dual, single and mixed carriageways c m y 7k. In fill with EuroRAP colour palette (see Section 9.1), line weight 1.4mm. Roads with no applicable risk data will have a grey fill, c m y 3k, line weight.6mm. Town stamps Major cities are included as a point of reference on all EuroRAP maps, but no other point symbols will be included. Capital or major cities/towns - open circle 2.3mm diameter, line weight.35mm, c y m 8k, white fill, c m y k.

7 City, town & island names Capital city - Myriad Pro SemiBold 18pt U/l, c m y 8k. Minor city/town - Myriad Pro 12pt, c m y 8k. Town text has a white halo.5mm oversize to the text characters. Road numbers Motorway/highway number - Arial Bold 1pt CAPS, c m y k. The text has a rectangular background box,.5mm oversize to the text, blue fill 1c m y k. The box has a grey outline.1mm, c m y 8k. Other road number - Arial Bold 9pt CAPS, c m y k. The text has a rectangular background box,.5mm oversize to the text, grey fill c m y 8k.

8 Legend Legend Title - Arial Bold 1pt. Legend description can vary depending on map content (Risk Ratings, Crash Cost etc) - Arial Bold 6pt Legend road categories with the casings. Description to match the map content - Arial Narrow 6pt Additional map features - Arial Narrow 6pt Scale bar International Miles and Kilometres. Title - Arial Narrow 6pt. Distance values - Arial Narrow 5.25pt Text sizes may vary to fit the available space. 4. Standardised RAP Road Risk Mapping non-cartographic content Standardised RAP Road Risk Mapping non-cartographic elements Title Prominent position, e.g. top left, clearly but briefly stating the content of the map. Country name - Arial Bold 3pt Map Content - Arial Bold 2pt Bounding box - weight.1mm, coloured c m y 1k, white fill c m y k. Introductory text Prominent position under Title, typically top left. Should include a fuller description of what the mapping shows, the network assessed, types of crashes included. It is also good practice to include information on where further information can be found. Text - Arial Bold 8pt U/l, c m y 1k. Bounding box - white c m y 1k, no keyline.

9 Logos Logos for lead organisation technical supporters and financial supporters should also be included within the boundary of the map. The logo positions must agree with the project requirements. Copyright notice As detailed in Section 7 of RAP-RRM- 2.1: RAP Road Risk Mapping Manual: Technical Specification, metadata elements, pertaining to the source, nature and quality of the data should be included as standard on RAP Road Risk Mapping. This most commonly can take the form of a footnote. Exclusion of liability Some countries choose to include an exclusion of liability notice.
