This eighth edition of the Technical Dictionary of Road Terms is published by the World Road Association(PIARC) on the occasion of the XXIIIrd World Road Congress hosted in Paris in September 2007. The fifth French/English edition of the Dictionary(1982) was used for its translation into fifteen other languages : Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Spanish and Slovak. Each of these cross-referenced versions takes up the numbering of the basic Dictionary; some versions also include English and French terms; other versions cannot be used without this Dictionary because they do not contain English/French terms(but only the numbering). The sixth edition(1990) was translated into Arabic, Czech, Greek, Lithuanian, Slovak, Spanish and Portuguese. The seventh edition(1997) was translated into Hungarian, Latvian, Romanian and Vietnamese. 1, record 3, English, - PIARC%20Technical%20Dictionary%20of%20Road%20Terms
