Comment:
Introduction to Road Safety Auditing training, provided by the National Highway Institute, the training arm of the Federal Highway Administration, on Road Safety Audits (RSA) and Road Safety Auditing Reviews (RSAR).

Abstract:

A Road Safety Audit (RSA) is the formal safety performance examination of an existing or future road or intersection by an independent, multidisciplinary team. It qualitatively estimates and reports on potential road safety issues and identifies opportunities for improvements in safety for all road users. The FHWA works with State and local jurisdictions and Tribal Governments to integrate RSAs into the project development process for new roads and intersections, and also encourages RSAs on existing roads and intersections.
