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 this part of the project were to improve crash reduction estimates associated with various road design features or safety measures (termed ‘issues’) in different environments, and to provide more objective analysis methods for use by road authorities in assessing relative risk. Consultation was undertaken with authorities in Australia and New Zealand to identify high priority issues for examination.
