Tools and their impact
Indeed a mixture of several actions and developments
It is important to know which medicine works – to continue and improve the cure!
Road Safety Audit is a tool proven to yield positive cost effective results
![Page 12: Kristian DUUS JASPERS Regional Office for Central Europe, Vienna](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/5681439e550346895db01bc0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Means of road safety interventions
Enforcement: speed, alcohol, seat belt etc. Improving vehicle safety Implementing ITS on roads (intelligent transport
systems) Education in schools Road safety audit Accident data collection and processing (very
essential to decide targeted actions) Black Spot projects Information campaigns (TV, bill boards ..)
Tools and their impact

Inspections and audits
Tools and their impact
Road Safety Inspections & Ranking of existing roads
Accident investigations and safety surveys
Used as a cure on existing road network to improve road safety based on safety performance
Road Safety Audit on new roads
A focussed independent safety check applying accumulated experience on road safety
Used as prevention in design of new infrastructure or in case of rehabilitation works
![Page 15: Kristian DUUS JASPERS Regional Office for Central Europe, Vienna](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/5681439e550346895db01bc0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Tools and their impact
Lithuania is already advancing fast in improving road safety
There is an growing experience among various experts and practitioners
Many actions related to RSA have already been done in the past
![Page 16: Kristian DUUS JASPERS Regional Office for Central Europe, Vienna](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/5681439e550346895db01bc0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Safety inspections and ranking
Through accident records traffic police and road authority know where the critical spots and sections are
Black spots and sections are identified and analysed
Solutions are found by road authority & police in cooperation with other institutions
![Page 17: Kristian DUUS JASPERS Regional Office for Central Europe, Vienna](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/5681439e550346895db01bc0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Expensive reconstruction can be avoided if RSA is done already at design stage
Reduces socio-economic cost caused by accidents
Improves design quality through structured discussions between planners

Cost of road safety audit (average)
Up to 4% of road design cost Approx. 0,25% of construction cost
Construction: 50 M EUR Constrution with RSA: 50,1 M EUR

Impact of RSA on accident rates (1)
Denmark, 13 projects, >25 accidents saved per year, additional project cost due to RSA was 1,2%
Germany, RSA may prevent up to 70% of all accidents on newly constructed roads
![Page 50: Kristian DUUS JASPERS Regional Office for Central Europe, Vienna](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/5681439e550346895db01bc0/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
5050
Impact of RSA on accident rates (2)
UK, Surrey County, compared 38 projects of which RSA was carried out on half of them:
With RSA – 60% drop in casualties
without RSA – 10% drop in casualties
USA, road safety inspections and follow-up improvements on existing roads led to 20-40% reduction of accidents
![Page 51: Kristian DUUS JASPERS Regional Office for Central Europe, Vienna](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/5681439e550346895db01bc0/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

State-of-the-art road safety approach:
Self-explanatory and forgiving roads
If a road explains itself, the road user will drive as appropriate
If an accident occurs, the road should be forgiving, i.e. aim at reducing the impact of the error as much as possible
![Page 52: Kristian DUUS JASPERS Regional Office for Central Europe, Vienna](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081418/5681439e550346895db01bc0/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

5656
Conclusions:
It is important and relevant to carry out road safety audit on road projects in Lithuania:
The accident frequency on Lithuanian roads is high, however declining
The social and human cost of accidents are very high
The investments in new roads are substantial Road Safety Audit has proven to be a cost
effective method to improve road safety, especially when applied in the design phase
