I. What is Road Safety Audit and Why is It Needed?
A. A brief history of road safety audit
1. Road safety audit (RSA) evolved in the mid-1980s when a road safety engineering (RSE) team in a county in southern England began to question the number of newly built road projects that were appearing in the county’s black spot list. The RSE team was responsible for investigating black spots in the county and its members were skilled in applying low-cost countermeasures to reduce crashes at hazardous locations. They were dismayed to find that so many recently completed road projects were on their list of black spots. After discussing this within the team, the team leader proposed that road safety would be improved if his team was allowed to check the design of all new road projects for safety before they were built. Put simply, he wanted to minimize the risk of the county building new black spots.
2. With support from the county surveyor, a department policy was developed that required all new road designs in the county to be checked and approved for safety by the RSE team prior to construction. Until safety approval
was granted, the project was not permitted to proceed to construction.
3. This checking process became formalized as RSA, and the county RSE team became the world’s first RSA team. The team applied its investigative skills in a proactive way to eliminate safety concerns at the design stage of road projects. The term road safety audit
became an accepted name for a thorough and detailed examination of a road design from a road safety perspective.
4. Knowing the history of the RSA process gives an insight into how and why this process developed. In turn, this helps to understand why the audit process is an important part of the development of new road projects today. Similar procedures and policies spread throughout other British road agencies. The first road safety audit manual was published by the Institution of Highways and Transportation in 1990 to guide and encourage this process. Since then, the benefits of this new process have been recognized around the world as an important proactive process for producing safer
