Road Safety Audits

Road Safety Audits

We take a practical approach to road safety audit that is focused on outcomes and assisting our clients to understand genuine road safety risks and how these could best be managed.

We encourage our clients to engage at an early stage with the road safety audit process.

The earlier a project is audited within the design and development process, the better. This allows designers to use audit findings to design out potentially inappropriate concepts or treatments (i.e. those with inherent safety problems in the particular context).

Early auditing can also leads to the early elimination of problems and, consequently, the minimisation of wasted design time at later stages. It is often very difficult to remove safety problems at a later stage or once traffic is using the road.

Traffic Engineering Centre team members have conducted a large number of road safety audits for local and state government as well as for the private sector. We have four accredited road safety auditors, of whom three are Level 3 (NSW) / Senior (QLD, VIC, WA) Road Safety Auditors, capable to undertake audits of varying complexity, anywhere in Australia.
