A Road Safety Audit (RSA) is a formal safety performance exam. It can be either of an existing or of a future road or intersection. The road safety audit is conducted by an independent, multidisciplinary team. The work of a road safety audit is very important. It provides for a qualitative estimate of the safety of the road or of a proposed road. It reports on potential road safety issues and identifies opportunities for improvements in safety for all road users.
There are several goals of a road safety audit. Primarily, a road safety audit answers:
According to the Association for Safe International Road Travel (ASIRT), reducing road risks requires a commitment and informed decision-making by government, industry, non-governmental organizations and international agencies. It needs to be a group effort. No one can do this alone. It also requires the participation of people from many different disciplines, including road engineers, motor vehicle designers, law enforcement officers, health professionals, the media, educators, community groups and individual road users.
Strong public awareness campaigns are essential to raise the understanding of the issue and motivate individual and governments to take action, comply with existing laws and introduce and/or amend laws that do not exist or are ineffective.
Vision Zero is a strategy first implemented in Sweden in the 1990s to eliminate all traffic fatalities and serious injuries while increasing safe, healthy and equitable mobility for all. Vision Zero has now been adopted in many counties throughout the world. The Vision Zero philosophy maintains that traffic deaths are preventable and compensates for inevitable human errors on the roads. Vision Zero recognizes that people will sometimes make mistakes and therefore the road system and related policies should be designed so that human error does not result in death and serious injury. To accomplish this, a safe system must be designed. The Safe System approach to road safety aims to protect people from death and serious injury by ensuring that all aspects of the transport system are designed to safeguard the road users and the inevitable errors that they will make.
The Safe System Approach is a holistic view of the road transport system and the interactions among roads and roadsides, travel speeds, vehicles and road users. It is an inclusive approach that caters for all groups using the road system, including drivers, motorcyclists, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, and commercial and heavy vehicle drivers.
