GG119 Road Safety Audit

Are lane and shoulder widths appropriate for the road function and expected vehicle types?

Are provisions made for future widening, if required?

Is the cross-section design consistent throughout the project?

Is the road layout suitable for the expected volume and type of traffic?

Are horizontal and vertical alignments designed for safe visibility and maneuverability?

Have potential hazards related to alignment, such as sharp curves, been minimized?

Are intersections designed to minimize conflict points and improve visibility?

Are turning radii, lane configurations, and priority controls appropriate?

Have safe pedestrian and cyclist crossing points been considered?

Are roadside obstacles (trees, poles, walls) minimized or mitigated through barriers?

Are adequate clear zones provided in case of vehicle run-off incidents?

Are median barriers necessary to prevent head-on collisions?

Are provisions made for pedestrians, cyclists, and other VRUs?

Are safe crossing points adequately placed and designed?

Are pedestrian walkways and cycle lanes sufficiently separated from vehicular traffic?

Is the road drainage system designed to prevent water pooling?

Are there risks of hydroplaning due to inadequate water runoff?

Has proper surfacing material been selected to enhance grip and reduce skidding?

Is street lighting adequate, especially at junctions, crossings, and high-risk areas?

Are light poles positioned to avoid creating hazards?

Has the impact of glare on drivers been considered?

Are lane markings clear, durable, and reflective?

Are pedestrian crossings marked and positioned correctly?

Are stop lines, cycle lane markings, and advance warning markings present?

Are crash barriers installed where necessary?

Are pedestrian guardrails placed in locations where foot traffic is high?

Is the placement of street furniture (benches, kiosks, etc.) safe and unobtrusive?

Are road signs correctly positioned, visible, and understandable?

Is there adequate advance warning for hazards, junctions, and speed limits?

Do signs comply with relevant road safety regulations?

Are emergency response routes clearly defined and accessible?

Are provisions for breakdown lay-bys and recovery vehicles adequate?

Have maintenance crews been briefed on road upkeep requirements?

Are junction layouts clear and intuitive?

Have potential sight obstructions at intersections been removed?

Are pedestrian crossings well-marked and accessible?

Are all traffic control elements (signs, signals, barriers) correctly installed?

Is road marking visibility adequate under both daylight and nighttime conditions?

Are there any unintentional obstructions caused by construction deviations?

Are there any defects, potholes, or uneven surfaces that may affect safety?

Are road markings properly applied and not obstructed?

Is the skid resistance of the road surface adequate?

Are construction-related traffic diversions clearly marked?

Are temporary signs and barriers removed after completion?

Are speed limits and warning signs still appropriate?

Are there any emerging trends in accident reports that need attention?

Are specific locations experiencing high crash rates?

Do accident types indicate a design-related issue?

Is the drainage system effectively preventing flooding?

Are lighting and visibility issues causing nighttime safety concerns?

Are road markings still clear after months of use?

Have any safety concerns been raised by local authorities or road users?

Are there common complaints regarding confusing layouts or poor visibility?

Have any unanticipated hazards emerged since opening?

Are corrective measures needed (e.g., additional signage, resurfacing, speed limit adjustments)?

Should traffic calming measures be introduced in high-risk zones?

Are there lessons from this project that should inform future road designs?

Are drivers adhering to posted speed limits?

Are pedestrian crossings being used as intended?

Are cyclists and VRUs experiencing safety challenges?
