1T-Road Safety Assessment

A Road Safety Assessment (RSA) is an evaluation of a highway improvement scheme during planning, design, at the end of construction or post-construction to identify road safety issues and to suggest measures to eliminate or mitigate any concerns. It is generally a relatively concise report with illustrations showing what the issues and possible resolutions.
When properly conducted, an assessment can help to identify and correct regulatory deficiencies, which, in turn, can improve workplace safety and help reduce liability. It is a formal examination of the safety performance of a given roadway facility by and independent, multidisciplinary team.
The importance of the road safety assessments cannot be underestimated as they can be very significant in minimizing loss of lives due to crashes, reducing the costs arising from crash occurrences and prevention the traumatic experiences by the family members and friends to those whose lives have been claimed by road crashes.
