Scope

A systematic examination of an existing road location, in which an independent and qualified team reviews on-site conditions and historical evidence to identify existing or potential road safety problems and suggest measures to mitigate those problems.

The definition of the road safety appraisal is very similar to that for the road safety audit, with the added review of historical evidence.

This allows the introduction of road crash information and any other information that are relevant to the reactive approach to road safety improvement, to be combined with the pro-active approach of a road safety audit.
