AE-1: Safety Audit
1-2 point
Goal
Improve roadway safety through review by an independent audit team.
Requirements
Conduct a road safety audit (RSA) on the project roadway in accordance with the procedures set forth in FHWA’s Road Safety Audit Guidelines. The Guidelines define three general phases of a project during which a RSA may be conducted.
1 point is awarded for each RSA conducted up to a maximum of 2 points.
- Preconstruction phase RSA. Performed before construction begins. Recommended changes are generally less costly and result in less delay.
- Construction phase RSA. Performed during preparations construction. They allow the roadway to be viewed as built and offer a last chance to assess safety before it is opened to the public.
- Post-construction phase RSA. Performed on existing roads to identify road safety issues for different road users.
Note: For a given roadway project, it is likely that preconstruction and construction phase RSAs are appropriate. A post-construction phase RSA in addition to these two RSAs would typically be redundant and is therefore not advisable. See the “Examples” section for situations where a post-construction phase RSA may be appropriate.
