Guide to road safety part 2: safe roads
Austroads Guide to Road Safety has been developed to provide an overview of road safety and road safety practices in Australia and New Zealand. Part 2 of the guide is designed to help practitioners minimise the risk of road crashes including run-off-road, intersection and head-on crashes and to implement countermeasures to achieve a safe road system. The guide contains practical, hands-on advice to help practitioners investigate and treat locations on the road system which are experiencing crashes, including identifying crash locations, diagnosing the crash problem and its causes, selecting a countermeasure which targets the problem, designing a safe remedial treatment and establishing its cost-effectiveness. The guide also provides information on sources of road crash data and how engineering improvements fit into an overall road safety strategy. This guide is intended for road authorities and road safety practitioners to use when considering potential road safety infrastructure improvements and should be read in conjunction with all other parts of the Guide to Road Safety.
