Abstract:
Road safety auditing
has been identified as a great method of ensuring the current road
system and future road projects are reviewed to make them as safe
for potential users as possible. Of course, constraints do exist
in these projects such as monetary and physical that may mean a
compromise has to be reached. Nevertheless, the road system can
be made safer by using the road safety auditing process.
Current use of road safety
auditing includes the four stages of road design and construction;
planning, preliminary design, detailed design, and after construction;
and the auditing of existing roads. The auditing of existing roads
mainly consists of a length of road or a location on the road network.
This report proposes
other uses of road safety auditing that should be encouraged to
add to the benefits of the formal methods already set out for the
current road safety auditing uses as outlined above. Some of these
ideas are already being used informally by road authorities, but
their formal investigation and development will greatly add to the
road safety toolbox of all those in charge of the operation and
management of their road network.
