摘要: This paper provides insights into road safety audits (RSAs) and their application. The objective is to provide an overview of the road safety audit process and to describe the applicability of road safety audits in evaluating safety deficiencies on existing urban roads and streets. The focus is to use an RSA in the safety review process. This application helps to demonstrate the value added by using RSAs. The major potential gain, however, lies in integrating the process into the planning of new facilities and the design and construction of improvement projects. The RSA of an existing facility, however, provides an assessment of existing facilities only from the safety point of view. The emphasis is on the prevention of potential crashes.
