Guidelines for Planning, Construction and Maintenance of Roads (RVS)

The RVS-network contains the state of the art in planning, construction and maintenance of roads, traffic and transport on roads gain more quality than without using them. The use of the guidelines on one side guarantees a standardized quality level in terms of the planning, construction and operation of transport and traffic infrastructure. On the other side it provides a high level of safety and quality for the users of the infrastructure while at the same time generating national economic benefit. More than 350 RVS are prepared and administered by working committees. The members of these committees are experts in the fields of construction, administration, planning, science, construction industry and infrastructure operation and support in an honorary capacity. The committees are deciding which of these original German RVS are translated into English. In the moment around 10 % of all German RVS are translated into English.

The current translated guidelines can be ordered single or in a RVS-Subscription with regular updates. The FSV is still working on translating RVS guidelines from German into English. The following list of RVS has been translated from the German original text, only the original German version is valid.
