Overview
Despite improvements in the fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (MVMT) in the last fifteen years, over 43,000 people are killed each year in vehicle crashes on our nation’s roads. Studies in Europe, Australia and spot studies in the United States show RSAs are an effective tool to identify areas and make suggestions for improvements that can result in fewer crashes. Developed to enable anyone involved in highway safety or planning to participate as a team member in a Road Safety Audit or Assessment (RSA), this webinar provides a new look at the eight steps to complete an RSA and explain how they make roads safer.
