 Road Safety Inspection is an ordinary periodical verification of the characteristics and defects of a road that require maintenance work for reasons of road safety. ◦ recommendations on remedial measures are not defined to be part of Inspection. The NRA will decide what remedial measures (if any) are to be provided.

 Road Safety Inspection  Road Safety Audit New Road Existing Road Potential Collisions Actual Collisions RSI√√ RSA + RSIA√√ NSM√√  Road Safety Impact Assessment  Network Safety Management

 EU DIRECTIVE 2008/96/EC of 19 November 2008 on road infrastructure safety management  S.I. No. 472/2011, European Communities (Road Infrastructure Safety Management) Regulations 2011  “Once road sections with a high accident concentration have been treated and remedial measures have been taken, safety inspections as a preventive measure should assume a more important role. Regular inspections are an essential tool for preventing possible dangers for all road users, including vulnerable users,....”

 NRA DMRB  NRA HD 17 / 12 - Road Safety Inspection (the Standard)  NRA HA 17 / 12 - Road Safety Inspection Guidelines  NRA Requirements  Qualification Requirements for Road Safety Inspection Team Members

 5 years for Motorways, Type 1 and Type 2 dual carriageways;  3 years for other roads; Motorways need less frequent inspections than single carriageways because:  They are designed to a high standard.  They are access controlled - no roadside development.  They are controlled in respect of statutory undertakers.  Their layout is not frequently changed.  They have lower collision rates than other roads.

 Road materials deteriorate or become damaged;  Standards for road design and road safety improve;  New products and technology which improve road safety become available;  Road layout changes arise from improvement works, such as road realignment or junction improvement;  Layout changes arise from works consented to in planning, such as additional roadside accesses;  Traffic flows increase, or traffic composition changes, again often arising from development;  Speed limits or other specific regulatory interventions change;

 The number of road fatalities per 10,000 licensed vehicles fell from 10 in 1970 to 1 in  Factors in collision occurrence

 A self-explaining road with forgiving roadsides should: ◦ Assist the driver in making the correct decision. ◦ Be forgiving of driver error. ◦ Lessen the consequences if a collision occurs. CEDR Forgiving Roadsides 2011

 The Inspection Team is appointed by the Authority and consists of a minimum of two Inspection Team Members, one of whom is also approved as Inspection Team Leader.  All team members shall be independent of the maintenance and operation of the road.

 Mapping info  towns, villages  large developments,  road numbers,  speed limits,  speed cameras,  carriageway type  Collision info  Traffic info  Past inspections  Road speeds, SCRIM etc.  (Timelines are important)  identify initial safety concerns (subject to confirmation on site),  plan site visit,  list items of a factual nature to be checked during the site visit,

 Mapping;  Speed gun (if available);  Tape measure and measuring wheel;  Spirit level;  Camera with video capability;  A handheld GPS;  Health and Safety important.

 Roads should be driven in both directions;  Each road section should be assessed from the point of view of all road users;  Day visit and night visit should be undertaken;  Junctions and other significant features should be inspected on foot, but only where it is safe to do so;  The existing traffic flow, traffic composition and traffic speed (relative to speed limits) should be noted;  Excessive scrutiny of urban areas should be avoided; these areas are complex relative to rural areas and could take an inordinate portion of the inspection time;  Photographs should be taken and, if necessary, short video clips;  In some instances, measurements and sketches should be made to assist in describing the nature and extent of the safety issues identified;
