Road safety audit
A system has been developed over the past two years to provide a
robust and easily understood method that will give us all
confidence in the safety of road schemes introduced onto the
highway network for which Suffolk County Council is the highway
authority.
Safety Audit is the application of safety principles to new
scheme design and alterations to the highway, to prevent accidents
occurring or to reduce their severity. The outcome of the audit is
the identification of any potential problems, together with
recommendations on how to rectify the problems. It is not a design
check or a means of testing the suitability of alternative
designs.
Safety Audit is a process aimed at helping to produce safe
highway designs but the contents of the report produced are not
negotiable.
