Abstract	Highway and traffic research and development projects conducted by the National Road and Traffic Research Institute for the Highway Department are planned on three levels: annual project plans, 5 year plans, general long-term plans and directions. These three levels are interrelated and the present report is intended to give direction to the 1980-1984 5 year plan on the basis of long-term planning and trends. The institute leaves open the possibility that changes may be made according to the priorities of the Highway Department. Major directions include improvement of the existing highway network rather than extensive expansion of it; concentration on highway and traffic problems in densely populated areas; increased attention to energy and environmental aspects of highways; and improved road maintenance. Studies to be conducted will examine the current traffic safety situation, road standards, the influence of vehicle types and driving patterns on certain road variables, and a number of other technical questions.
