Guide to road safety part 7: road safety strategy and management

The Guide to Road Safety Part 7: Road Safety Strategy and Management is intended as a guide to the process of road safety strategy development, management, evaluation and risk assessment. It outlines options for strategy development and details the value of a ‘vision’ in driving strategy development. It covers the stages of a strategy lifecycle, including problem analysis, countermeasure selection, target setting and safety performance indicators, development and implementation. It also details the importance of, and methods for, monitoring and evaluation. The joint Australia and New Zealand Standard on risk management (AS/NZS ISO 31000:2018) is used as the basis and structure for an overview of risk assessment and management in the road safety network context. The issues of communication and consultation, establishing the context, identifying risks, analysing risks, evaluating risks, treating risks, and monitoring and review are discussed. Examples of risk in the road safety context are provided, including those relating to road trauma, legal risk, and risk from adverse public opinion. Case studies are provided to assist practitioners in the assessment and management of risks on their networks. This guide also provides specific road safety management context sections for local government and regional and remote areas.
