FHWA Study Tour of Road Safety Audits - Final Report

FHWA-PL-98-008

This report is a summary of the findings of the FHWA scanning team that visited Australia and New Zealand in October 1996. The objective of the document is to provide an overview of the organization and application of road safety audits. It is not the purpose of the report to serve as a handbook or guide for using road safety audits; it is a collection of observations that describe the applications of the process, the framework in which audits are applied, and the policy context in which audits are conducted. Examples and brief descriptions of audits are also presented. Part 2 of this report is a separate volume that contains examples of actual road safety audits and specific safety audit procedures and checklists.
