Abstract
The primary purpose of this guideline is to provide a foundation for public agencies to draw upon when developing their own Road Safety Audit (RSA) policies and procedures and when conducting RSAs within their jurisdiction. The availability of a consistent guideline is anticipated to lead to a better understanding of the core concepts of RSAs and to promote their use. These guidelines were developed by building upon experiences gained in the United States and in other countries. They are meant to present basic RSA principles, to encourage public agencies to implement RSAs, and to embrace them as part of their everyday practice. When used they should be tailored to suit local conditions. (Author/publisher)
