Safety audits & reviews

All planned, new, or upgraded transport facilities should be assessed for the potential safety impacts that the changes may have on various road users, particularly where there is the chance of death or serious injury.

ViaStrada staff are formally trained in road safety and/or accessibility audits, safe system assessments, and Level Crossing Safety Impact Assessments (LCSIAs). We also conduct peer reviews of the safety effects of other changes to transport networks.
