Agenda
Background / Introduction – Are Road Safety Audits delivering safe roads?
The Safe System: What is it?... And what does it meanfor me?
Why is road safety management important?
Road Safety Audits and the Safe System
What is risk?
When or what stage is most critical?
Why have recommendations?
What is more important: process or outcome?
The way forward

Road Safety Audits
Background Are Road Safety Audits delivering Safe Roads?
✓ Evaluations
✓ Cost to Benefit Ratio (CBR)
What is a Safe Road?
What should be the objective of a Road Safety Audit?
Difference between new roads and existing roads

Road safety audits
Background to the Safe System (or a short history of road safety)
![Page 6: ROAD DESIGN: WHAT IS THE ROLE FOR ROAD SAFETY AUDITS? 2017 PPs/De Roos.pdf · SoRSA Conference, Birmingham 2017 ROAD DESIGN: WHAT IS THE ROLE FOR ROAD SAFETY AUDITS? Michael de Roos](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020315/5aafdbe47f8b9adb688e2405/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Long-term trends
• Follows economy
• Road safety trends and interventions
The road toll
![Page 7: ROAD DESIGN: WHAT IS THE ROLE FOR ROAD SAFETY AUDITS? 2017 PPs/De Roos.pdf · SoRSA Conference, Birmingham 2017 ROAD DESIGN: WHAT IS THE ROLE FOR ROAD SAFETY AUDITS? Michael de Roos](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020315/5aafdbe47f8b9adb688e2405/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
However -
• Limits to reductions
• Search for ‘silver bullet’ ?
The road toll
![Page 8: ROAD DESIGN: WHAT IS THE ROLE FOR ROAD SAFETY AUDITS? 2017 PPs/De Roos.pdf · SoRSA Conference, Birmingham 2017 ROAD DESIGN: WHAT IS THE ROLE FOR ROAD SAFETY AUDITS? Michael de Roos](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020315/5aafdbe47f8b9adb688e2405/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Used for many years
• As rate of improvements reduced, a new model was
required
Old Model (not Safe System thinking)
![Page 9: ROAD DESIGN: WHAT IS THE ROLE FOR ROAD SAFETY AUDITS? 2017 PPs/De Roos.pdf · SoRSA Conference, Birmingham 2017 ROAD DESIGN: WHAT IS THE ROLE FOR ROAD SAFETY AUDITS? Michael de Roos](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020315/5aafdbe47f8b9adb688e2405/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Background to Safe System
To sum-up Reduction in road toll was plateauing
A new model was required to drive the road toll down:
Road safety resources are limited
There are limits to behavioural change programs e.g. speeding
Engineering measures can mitigate human error
International experience shows strategic approach works

Various ways to illustrate
• Based on the same common principles

Safe System
Principles Limitations of human body to forces
(Anticipating of) and forgiving of human error
Joint responsibility (for all involved in managing roads)
✓ Design
✓ Build
✓ Operate
✓ Maintain
All disciplines working together
Evidence based
![Page 14: ROAD DESIGN: WHAT IS THE ROLE FOR ROAD SAFETY AUDITS? 2017 PPs/De Roos.pdf · SoRSA Conference, Birmingham 2017 ROAD DESIGN: WHAT IS THE ROLE FOR ROAD SAFETY AUDITS?

Threshold impact speeds
People not vehicles
Different profile
Risk = Speed
All about impact speed and conflict type
Probability of being in casualty crash

Road Safety Management
Principles Vision Zero
Mainstreaming
✓ Resources
Management tools
✓ iRAP
✓ Accountability
✓ Key Performance Indicators (KPI) or Key Results Areas (KRA) ?
✓ Role of CBR ?
How do Road Safety Audits contribute ?

Safe System
… to summarise
Safe System
Adopted by best practice jurisdictions
Recommended by UN
Anticipate and accommodate human error – does not blame the user
Acknowledge limited tolerance to force
Focus on reducing harm to people
Forgiving road and roadside
Safe speeds
Joint responsibility
Operating a Safe System is not business as usual

Road Safety Audits and the Safe System

Road Safety Audits
Risk ?
1. Risk Management
Accidents = risk management (Risk Matrix)
ALARP
RRRap
2. Safe Road
Crashes = action (Haddon Matrix)
Safe System questions
Survivability thresholds (Safe System curves)
Should we accept that there will be death or serious injury or is the objective a Safe Road?
Consider two approaches

Road Safety Audits
Stages International practices
The earlier the better:
✓ Planning tool
✓ Feasibility / concept
✓ Value engineering / options
No risk is out-of-scope:
✓ Departures from Standard
✓ Junction types

What is the objective of a Road safety Audit
The practice:
✓ Evolved
✓ Highly process focused
✓ Reports include what is not in-scope
Checklists
The process must be subordinate to the Outcome

Road safety audits
Way Forward

Road Safety Audits
Way Forward
Role of road safety associations:
✓ Advocate for best practice
✓ Promote management accountability
✓ Influencers
Designer / Operator responsibility
✓ Accountable for trauma on their roads
✓ KPIs and KRAs
✓ Road Safety Auditor as advisor and agitator

Road Safety Audits
Way Forward
Role of road safety expert:
✓ Comprehensive knowledge of how road safety performance is influenced (evidence based)
✓ Engineering toolkits
✓ Limitations of education programs to solve on-road problems
✓ Role of enforcement (and how engineering can be used to support enforcement)
Independent Safe System review
✓ Focused on problems rather than recommendations
