Roads guidelines and regulations
The guidelines and regulations for the road system ( RVS for short ) are an Austrian set of rules of several thousand pages of the research society road - rail - traffic for the areas of traffic and road systems .

meaning
RVS are the most important tools used by Austrian road builders. In 15 chapters, topics ranging from traffic and road planning to bridges and tunnels to environmental protection and quality assurance are dealt with. By including them in contracts for planning and construction, the RVS are regularly declared binding for those involved. With federal and state roads RVS in Austria are basically legally binding .
In the context of construction tenders for road construction in Austria, Chapter 7 (Description of services for traffic and infrastructure) of the RVS is usually used as the basic description of services (see also list of services ). Furthermore, in the majority of cases, Chapter 8 (technical contract terms) is part of the contract for road construction work in Austria.
In professional circles, the RVS are naturally a much discussed set of rules. The RVS is regularly expanded and adapted to the state of the art in accordance with the technical discussion and the latest findings .
