Road Safety and Infrastructure Audits

The South Australian Government invested $32.9 million to upgrade an 800-meter section of Flagstaff Road between Hyland Avenue and Bonneyview Road in Flagstaff Hill. This vital infrastructure project aimed to improve road safety, traffic flow, and overall usability. As part of this initiative, Aurecon Australasia Pty Ltd engaged BE Engineering Solutions (BEES) to perform a Preliminary Design Road Safety Audit (RSA) and a Post-Construction day and night RSA and assessment for this critical section of Flagstaff Road.

The Challenge

The Flagstaff Road upgrade presented specific challenges that required expert road safety evaluation:

 

  • Ensuring the preliminary design incorporated all necessary safety measures to address known hazards.
  • Conducting a thorough safety audit to identify potential risks for road users during both day and night conditions.
  • Balancing the road’s functional upgrades with compliance to Australian road safety standards.
  • Addressing high traffic volumes and ensuring the design enhanced safety for all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.

Our Approach

  • Conducted a detailed review of the preliminary road design to identify and address safety risks before construction commenced.
  • Assessed alignment, signage, road markings, and intersections for compliance with road safety standards and best practices.
