• Abstract:
  The report describes a program which targets the improvement of the safety of the transportation road and street network. The program, the Road Safety Audit Program, originated in the United Kingdom in the 1980s and has been further developed by Austroads, the Australian transportation authority. The program is aimed at identifying the accident potential and safety performance of existing or future transportation projects and ensuring the full consideration of solution for mitigating any deficiencies. This study explores expanding the road safety audit (RSA) to address the liabilities arising from an RSA review of existing roads in the United States.
