Are any of these familiar to you?
- Road safety audits cost too much
- Audit findings are so unrealistic
- The audit left us with a list of things we could never fix
- It’s too complicated
- Our people went to the audit course, so we don’t need independent audits
All these problems focus on the audits themselves. But the issue is not ‘road safety audit – yes or no’. The issue is ‘road and traffic designs that work – how do we get there’.
– How can you get the most out of your organisation’s resources when it comes to road layouts and traffic projects?
– What do you need to do at the design stage to make sure the final product is what you want and it works safely?
– Where does road safety audit fit in to help you get there?
Road Safety Audit’s been around for almost 20 years. It’s being used very effectively by a few organisations.
Considering the real benefits for organisations (fewer complaints, less going back and fixing it later) and communities (less road crash trauma, damage or injury), how can you get auditing to work effectively for you?
Our Two Presenters will share their knowledge of Road Safety Audits problems and solutions.
Rob Morgan is one of Australia’s most experienced road safety engineers. He is principal author of the AustRoads Road Safety Audit guide and has been involved in audit training across Australia. He has a decade of practical Local Government experience. His presentation will offer practical advice about how you can get better road safety into your designs.
Rob Morgan’s presentation will cover:
- What’s the purpose and what’s the point? How audits fit in.
- Do I always need a road safety audit? Are there better ways to use a road safety engineer?
- What to look for when engaging a road safety auditor
- What makes a useful road safety audit report
- How can we set up a road safety audit process in our office so it works?
- Responding to a road safety audit – the big road block
- Town planning proposals and new developments – why these need to be audited.
Evan Boloutis is Manager Traffic and Transport at Boroondara City Council. He has many years experience in solving traffic safety issues. Evan will present some case studies showing where the use of Road Safety Audits have been effective and some common road safety problems.
A light lunch will be available after the presentations
