Summary/Abstract: The term “self-explaining roads” is being used in Czech road safety engineering more and more often, similar like in many other countries, mainly in EU. Not everybody is sure, what exactly the term means, thus it is necessary to find out how the concept of self-explaining roads has been developed and what are its limits. This article is based on the report produced within the research project SPACE. The complete report “Self-explaining Roads Literature Review and Treatment Information” (2010) can be found at http://eranetroad.org/.
