Road Safety Audits

At BE Engineering Solutions, we provide comprehensive Road Safety Audits (RSAs) led by a team of seasoned consultants with extensive experience supporting government and council projects across South Australia

Our pragmatic approach to road safety utilises best practice techniques to assess and mitigate risks, ensuring that roads are safer for all users—from drivers to cyclists and pedestrians.

A Road Safety Audit is a formal, structured evaluation conducted by qualified safety professionals to assess potential hazards on roads and intersections. The audit process involves examining road elements, identifying risk factors, and recommending measures to improve safety. The goal of an RSA is to mitigate risk, minimise accident likelihood, and ensure that road infrastructure aligns with best practice Australian Standards and community expectations.

At BE Engineering Solutions, we bring decades of experience and a deep understanding of road safety protocols and Australian Standards.

    Identifies potential risks during the construction phase to prevent future hazards.
  • Existing Roads:
    Reviews current infrastructure to highlight necessary upgrades or improvement

The Importance of Road Safety Audits

Safety audits are an essential part of road infrastructure development and maintenance.

In addition to promoting safety, audits are a cost-effective measure that helps councils and governments avoid more expensive post-construction fixes or accident-related liabilities.

For state governments and local councils, implementing safety audits helps to:

By identifying and addressing potential hazards, RSAs help prevent accidents and near misses.

Safer roads contribute to a safer environment, particularly in high-traffic areas.

Compliance with Australian Safety Standards and legislation is critical for all government and council road projects.

Knowing that road safety measures are in place enhances trust in local and state authorities.
