Practical Approaches for Managing Regional Road Safety Priorities: Practitioner Resources
This report details road and transport safety interventions that can reduce fatal and serious injury crashes in regional and remote areas. It contains the factsheets, prioritisation framework, and evaluation framework from the report Practical…
Practical Approaches for Managing Regional Road Safety Priorities
This report details road and transport safety interventions that can reduce fatal and serious injury crashes in regional and remote areas. A literature review expands on the Austroads National View on Regional and Remote Road Safety report by…
Best Practice Speed Information Management
This report summarises the findings of a review of current practices relating to speed information management (i.e. speed limits and operating speeds) in Austroads jurisdictions. As speed information management is an emerging topic, current…
Use of Perceptual Countermeasure Treatments to Reduce Crash Risks in Tunnels
This report evaluates selected low-cost perceptual countermeasure (PCM) treatments in tunnel environments. PCM treatments are used to reduce crash risk by improving driver speed behaviour, alertness and lane discipline within tunnels. Two key…
Road Authority Data for Connected and Automated Vehicles: Guidance for Agency Data Provision to Connected and Automated Vehicles
These eight reports provide guidance on the provision of agency-owned data to connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). Six high-priority data sets are addressed: roadworks, incidents, variable speed limit signs and lane control signals, static speed…
Effectiveness and Implementation of Raised Safety Platforms
The purpose of this report is to provide clarity around the design and operation of raised safety platforms and deepen understanding of leading international practice across a range of applications and performance dimensions. A review of literature…
Network Design for Road Safety (Stereotypes for Cross-sections and Intersections): User Guide
This user guide provides guidance to road managers, planners and designers on achieving improved safety outcomes by applying consistent standards along a road corridor. Thirteen road stereotype tables were identified covering the road network from…
Road Cross-section Design for Road Stereotypes (including Network Safety Plans) and a Safe System
This report summarises activities undertaken to produce guidance on road cross-section design for road stereotypes during stage 1 and 2 of this project. The guidance enables road managers, planners and designers to achieve improved safety outcomes…
Integrating Safe System with Movement and Place for Vulnerable Road Users
The Movement and Place Framework is increasingly used to guide transport planning in delivering a more integrated transport system to improve customer outcomes and support a range of user groups. Work is already underway in some jurisdictions to…
Rollover Crashes: Road Design Risk Factors and Infrastructure Solutions
Rollover crashes are an undesirable outcome in a substantial proportion of casualty crashes on high-speed roads. Rollovers are especially over-represented in run-off-road crashes due to their direct interaction with the roadside geometry. This…
