Impartial Assessments
Our Audits are carried out independently, providing objective recommendations focused solely on improving road safety.
A Road Safety Audit is an independent assessment of a proposed highway improvement or new road scheme, carried out to identify potential safety issues before the scheme is brought into use. Its primary purpose is to help reduce the likelihood and severity of future collisions by ensuring that road safety considerations are fully integrated into the design process.
The audit considers the needs of all road users, including vulnerable groups such as pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and equestrians. Where potential safety concerns are identified, practical recommendations are provided to help improve the overall safety of the scheme.
At the heart of every Road Safety Audit is a simple but important question:
"How could road users be affected, and what measures can be taken to reduce the risk?"
Road Safety Audits are carried out by a Road Safety Audit Team (usually comprising a single Team Leader and Team Member) with the necessary required experience in collision investigation and road safety engineering, along with a detailed knowledge and understanding of highway design principles, requirements and best practices.
Our Road Safety Audit Teams at David A Graham Associates have the essential experience required by National Highways to meet their terms of reference for Road Safety Audit which is GG119 of the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB). We also hold the National Highways Certificate of Competence in Road Safety Audit which allows David A Graham Associates Audit Teams to carry out Road Safety Audit on the strategic road network including Trunk Roads and Motorways.
Furthermore, since David A Graham Associates was founded in 2006 we have successfully completed over 3,800 Road Safety Audits at all stages across the UK. So get in touch with us today for a competitive fee proposal and quick turn-around time.

With decades of industry experience, our team has delivered Road Safety Audits for a wide range of developments and highway nationwide.
Conducted in line with the latest industry standards and guidance, helping support planning approval and project delivery.
Securing planning permission for highway development and adoption frequently hinges on a mandatory Road Safety Audit being carried out. This highly specialized evaluation must be conducted by an independent Road Safety Audit team completely separate from those handling the project's design and construction.
The primary goal of Road Safety Audit is to integrate road safety expertise into the initial planning and building phases, ultimately minimizing both the frequency and severity of future road traffic collisions. By verifying that infrastructure is engineered and executed to peak safety standards, Road Safety Audits play a critical role. Ultimately, a thorough and precise audit enhances the overall value and integrity of a highway project from the ground up.
