Abstract

Australian local traffic management practice for safety improvement is reviewed. The evaluation of such schemes is rare. Area wide treatments have not as yet received detailed evaluation but there is a considerable body of research into the effects of individual treatments such as local street roundabouts, road humps and other devices. A current study in Sandringham, a suburb of Melbourne aims to (1) identify the traffic management, safety and related amenity problems in local traffic areas throughout Sandringham, (2) propose specific solutions to these problems as appropriate, and (3) evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed solutions. An essential part of the study has been a review of methods of evaluation. The conclusions of this part are discussed. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD abstract no 264967.
