Safe Intersection Approach Treatments and Safer Speeds through Intersections: Final Report, Phase 1.
The aim of this project is to investigate intersection crashes with a view to determining suitable intersection approach treatments, and opportunities for better managing speeds through intersections, so as to reduce the severity of intersection…
The Road Safety Consequences of Changing Travel Modes
Understanding the extent of changes in modal shift and their consequences in terms of road deaths and injuries is essential if we are to fully understand progress towards the targets of the National Road Safety Strategy, and the actions that may be…
Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 11: Road Safety and Maintenance
To assist member authorities in the management of road assets to provide better safety outcomes, this research program has been developed to assess the safety implications of road deterioration, the safety benefits of asset restoration, and the…
Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 4: Treatment Life for Road Safety Measures
All road and traffic authorities need to direct their funding wisely to road safety treatments that ensure the most cost-effective returns in crash and injury reductions. In order to do this, accurate information is required on the expected benefits…
Road Safety Engineering Risk Assessment Part 6: Crash Reduction Rates

ARRB Group has completed a major Austroads research program to assess risk involving road, traffic and roadside infrastructure. The results provide road authorities with more effective tools to reduce road crashes and injuries. The objectives for…

Impact of Lower Speed Limits for Road Safety on Network Operations

This project achieved the objective of consolidating the available research on the impacts of lower speed limits on network operations. It extended this knowledge to bridge an identified knowledge gap regarding urban arterial roads by modelling the…

Infrastructure/Speed Limit Relationship in Relation to Road Safety Outcomes

The objective of this project was to provide advice to jurisdictions on appropriate speed limit setting policy in light of harm minimisation (the Safe System approach). This advice was based on the improved understanding of the relationships between…
