Pedestrian Road Safety Audit Guidelines and Prompt Lists
A Road Safety Audit (RSA) is a formal safety examination of a future roadway plan or project or an in-service facility that is conducted by an independent, experienced multidisciplinary RSA team. All RSA's should include a review of pedestrian safety; however, some RSAs may be conducted to improve an identifiied pedestrian safety problem. The Pedestrian Safety Road Safety Audit Guidelines and Prompt Lists provides transportation agencies and teams conducting an RSA with a better understanding of the needs of pedestrians of all abilities.
Target Audience: Engineer, planners, safety pracitioners
