Road Safety Audit
Stage 1 Road Safety Audit
An independent assessment at the preliminary design stage. A Stage 1 audit considers the fundamental principles of the scheme while there is still scope to influence the emerging highway design.
What we review
The fundamental principles of the scheme
The audit considers the fundamental principles of the proposed scheme from a road safety perspective.
- Overall highway layout
- Junction arrangements
- Access strategy
- Pedestrian and cycle provision
- Visibility
- Interaction with the surrounding highway network
Why Stage 1 matters
Identify safety concerns early
Identifying safety concerns at this stage can reduce the risk of costly design changes later in the project. Early independent advice can help inform the development of the scheme while there is still scope to influence the emerging design.
