Submission Date: 2017 Conference: ARSC
Abstract
The project will provide road design practitioners dimensional guidance when implementing recommended treatments proposed under the safe system assessment framework (published through the Austroads Road Safety Task Force) with the contemporary outcome statement of “safe mobility”.
This will incorporate overriding principles into the guideline:
* Harmonise the information for defined road stereotypes
* Consistency in the practical application of safe system treatments which can be realistically implemented
* Provision of a self-explaining road
