3 EU Directive 2008/96/EC Road Safety Audit means an independent detailed systematic and technical safety check relating to the design characteristics of a road infrastructure project and covering all stages from planning to early operation which means: Road Safety audit is conducted at the earliest possible stage of planning and construction. Safety Inspection means an ordinary periodical verification of the characteristics and defects that require maintenance work for reasons of safety, which means: Roads Safety Inspection is a systematic field study on existing roads. 3

4 EU directive 2008/96/EC Article 10 Exchange of best practices In order to improve the safety of roads within the European Union that are not part of the trans-european road network, the Commission shall establish a coherent system for the exchange of best practices between the Member States, covering, inter alia, existing road infrastructure safety projects and proven road safety technology. 4

23 Performing Road Safety Audit (RSA) Historical Background to RSA The EU Position on RSA Definition of RSA Goals of RSA Benefits of undertaking RSA RSA Stages Stage 1 Outline design Stage 2 Detailed design Stage 3 Pre-opening Stage 4 Early operation RSA Process Roles & responsibilities Commissioning the RSA How to undertake the RSA The RSA Report Response to the RSA Report Guidelines for Road Safety Audit 23

24 Performing Road Safety Audit (RSA) 24

25 Performing Road Safety Inspection (RSI) The identification of road sections with high accident concentrations high risk sites Network safety management A rough analysis of accidents can: provide guidance in terms of priorities simplify the inspection Rough analysis of accident data means: types of accidents locations of accidents 25

26 RSI Results Road Safety Inspection Road Safety Inspection of Austrian motor- and expressways Common Understanding of RSI Preventive tool Independent of the occurred number of accidents Regular inspection Covering the whole existing road network Carried out by trained traffic expert team 26

28 ROSEE training course for RSA/RSI RSI + RSA (stage 3 and 4) practical examples Field (RSI z RSA Stage 3 and 4): Example 1: Motorway (Primary) Example 2: State road (Primary and/or secondary) Example 3: Intersection in urban area (Secondary) Example 4: Cyclists and pedestrians Report 28

29 ROSEE training course for Speed Management Implementation of speed management system Political and community support Stakeholders and roles Assessing the situation Preparing a plan of action General Preparing for implementation Problem rating Informing, influencing and involving the public Limiting speed, communication and enforcement Planning and using pilot projects Management arrangements Speed Road traffic crashes and injury involving speed What is speed management Evaluating the program Designing tools for managing speed Planning and methods Speed zoning and speed limits Dissemination Changing behavior: regulating and enforcing speed Changing behavior: public education Engineering treatments: traffic calming measures 29

30 Speed 30

31 Assessing the situation Essential information in understanding the existing situation in relation to speed will include awareness of: existing road hierarchies by function activities occurring on the roads (particularly vulnerable road-user activity) data on crashes speed levels speed involvement in crashes the existing legal position for speed limits speed compliance attitudes to speed 31

32 Design tools for speed management 32

33 Implementation of speed management system Stakeholders Preparing a plan of action 33

34 Evaluating the program Evaluation and monitoring need to be built into the program from the start. An important initial stage involves collecting baseline data to assess the current situation before developing and implementing the program. Dissemination: the need to recognize and reward the inputs made by individuals and agencies because this will help to ensure sustainability of the program as will broadcasting and celebrating successful outcomes. 34
