Road Safety Audit Stages
Preliminary Design
Preliminary design involves identifying the need for any land acquisitions for the completion of the project. Our road safety auditors visit and analyze the site to determine:
- Adequateness of route choice and design volume/speed
- Impact of continuity with the existing network
- Accessibility to different types of traffic
- Availability of pedestrian and cyclist lanes at the right places
- Consistency of vertical and horizontal alignments
Draft Design
The audit at the draft design stage examines such issues as intersection layout and the chosen design standards. Aspects of the draft design audit can include:
- Geometry of horizontal and vertical alignment
- Visibility and sight distance considerations
- Signs, lighting, markings and delineation
- Buildability, operation and traffic management
Detailed Design
The audit at the detailed design stage includes a comprehensive analysis of the preliminary design, to reduce costs and mitigate any possible design issues. During this stage, our road safety auditors pay detailed attention to every design aspect, such as pavement markings, signage, lighting, and traffic signals. An audit of a detailed design involves, but is not limited to, an examination of:
- Intersection/junction layout
- The geometric design
- Carriageway markings and road signs
- Local alignment
Pre-opening to Traffic
Before the new scheme (completed or modified work) is open for public use, our road safety auditors conduct a final inspection of the road during daylight and night to identify all potential hazards. The engineer may also audit the road during bad weather conditions, such as fog and rain, if required. This stage of the audit process helps determine:
- Suitability for all road users including public transport, cyclists, pedestrians
- Visibility and illumination during daytime and at night
- Any discrepancy between the detailed design scheme and the ‘as built’ works
- Reflectivity of signage and pavement markings
- Presence of required road signs, lightings, and carriageway markings
Existing Roads
A road’s use and its safety condition can change over time, requiring some level of modification of the roadway. Auditing the existing road environment helps ensure that the constructed roadway serves its intended purpose and is safe for all road users. Consequently, the RSA audit of existing conditions is independent of all the other audit stages.
