The audit team was tasked with assessing risks associated with two layout options concerning lateral shifts through an intersection, arising from site constraints. The team focussed on the following issues
New or upgraded roads in existing or growth areas generate the need for road safety audits of plans and staging setups. Many of these lower-profile projects are easily missed.
The project was considering installing a continuous rail with a decorative element into the surface of the ATL (shared path).
The rails would have been composed of a stainless-steel surface intended to be flush with adjacent pavement.
As part of the 12km Stage 3 duplication of Princes Highway East (Traralgon to Sale), RSA carried out desktop and on-site temporary construction staging audits.
The audit team assessed the permanent-state design for the new shared paths associated with freeway adjustments.
At project initiation with staging layout designs, RSA analysed broad key safety issues
Six options were being considered to alter Canberra’s temporary (long-term) bus interchange which alter the existing layout and mostly remove pedestrian crossings and refuges for real or perceived bus operational (timing) benefits.
Pedestrian / cyclist and LATM facilities were proposed over ~3km, converting existing footpaths to shared paths, and at some locations have a dedicated bicycle-only path.
RSA undertook design stage, pre and post opening stage road safety audits. The pre-opening stage audit assessed the constructed work on its merits to check if there were any construction issues or unexpected issues between the design and the existing road environment.
