Road Safety Audits
Waterman Boreham provides experienced and independent
road safety audit teams to undertake audits in accordance with the current guidance,
HD 19/03 and NRA HD 1901.
With local authorities now requiring safety audits for all development-led highway
improvement schemes prior to granting planning consent, clients potentially face
unacceptable project delays.
Our service considers the developers’ needs first. With our understanding of the
development industry we eliminate unnecessary delays, while providing the first
class audit expected of a highly experienced team.
Boreham guides clients through the audit process, helping them to understand the
commercial impacts of any road safety issue. While highway authorities can arrange
road safety audits, their timescales can cause delays and a lack of commercial awareness
can lead to problems. Our team has audited a wide range of highway improvement schemes
for private developers and provided high quality audits on a timescale that meets
the needs of the scheme and the developer.
Experience
The company’s auditors work on a wide range of projects throughout the UK and Ireland
including major trunk roads, local highway improvements, traffic management schemes
and developer-led schemes such as new access proposals.
Fact
Road safety audits ensure that operational road safety is applied during the design
and construction process to mitigate the potential of any future accidents.
Safety Audits are mandatory for all trunk road and motorway improvement schemes,
and are recommended as good practice on local roads.
