General Information

Summary:
Performing effective road safety audits (RSAs) improves safety and demonstrates to the public an agency's dedication to crash reduction. This course provides practical information on how to conduct a road safety audit, location selection, building independent, multi-disciplinary teams and the steps to successful RSAs. Discussions on costs, time, liability and benefits, focus on the common myths and concerns surrounding RSAs. Participants learn how to improve transportation safety by applying a new proactive approach to RSAs. This approach includes examination of a future or existing roadway by an independent, qualified audit team.
The course includes hands-on application of the training materials, which include information on the history and definition of RSAs, the importance of safety, the stages of a road safety audit, how to conduct a road safety audit, easy-to-use-checklists, and legal considerations. A copy of "FHWA Road Safety Audit Guidelines" is provided.

* Assess the benefits of a road safety audit on a local or statewide basis
