Urban KiwiRAP: Identifying Road Safety Risk on New Zealand's Urban Roads
Road Assessment Programmes have been around for well over a decade now, however typically they have focused on rural corridors and townships these pass through. Urban KiwiRAP, New Zealand's Road Assessment Programme, looks to apply road risk ratings to major urban transport networks. The first stage was to develop risk maps for road links and intersections for motorised vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcyclists) and vulnerable road users (pedestrians and cyclists) using reported crashes and converting these into estimated death and serious injury casualty equivalents. These have now been completed for several cities and regions in New Zealand. The risk maps are changing the road safety conversation from a reactive response to one targeted at risk. The second stage, which is currently underway, is the coding of some 3,000 km of urban roads using the iRAP v3 star rating model for various road user groups. The star rating model is a wholly proactive assessment of risk of various elements of the transport network for different road users groups. This paper will be of interest to everyone involved with the planning and delivery of road safety outcomes for transport networks, especially where budgets are tight but community expectations remain high.
