Road Safety
The safety of users of roads and developments with which we are involved is our main priority. Our team members have been involved in many aspects of road safety research, safety audits and countermeasure application over the past 20 years.
Our approach to road safety is more organic than the traditional Road Safety Audit, however these two different approaches can be used to great effect when applied together.

-
Red Light Camera Before and After Studies

In our experience the safety performance of a road system requires much more than an understanding of the accepted standards.
It requires us to visualise the multitude of complex road conditions, vehicle handling characteristics, emotional states, external circumstances, visual and motional cues and distractions that a road user could be subject to in all manner of combinations, abilities and experience levels, then to predict the range of responses they may choose and the potential consequences of such choices.
