Bicycle Hook Turns are encouraged as a way for cyclists to navigate signalised intersections with less likelihood of crash. To encourage riders to make this turn (as opposed to crossing to the middle of the road and propping in the right turn lane), Hook Turn Storage...

Superelevation of a curve provides a raised surface to counter the centrifugal force of the vehicle navigating the curve. Adverse superelevation is when the road is angled in such a way that the surface does not counter the centrifugal force experienced by a vehicle...

Friday Safe System Sketch.One for all the road safety barrier enthusiasts.Have a super weekend.

What is HIC? Find out in the factsheet below.

Happy Friday.Here's another Safe System Sketch from our engineers to close out the week.Have a good weekend.

Please don't fill your water-filled barriers with concrete. 

Safe System Sketch because it's a Friday.Have a good weekend.

The Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) has been around since the 70s as a way to code injuries and injury severity. Here's a short fact sheet to help you understand what the codes mean. This is covered in detail in our online Safe System Crash Investigation course. More...

Vehicles leave the road in many ways. While ‘drift off’ may be the start of many lane departure events, the crash can end up as a single yaw, double yaw or even triple yaw crash due to the overcorrections by the driver.

The three main factors to be considered in the severity outcomes of intersection designs are:⭕ Speed⭕ Impact angle⭕ Kinetic energy threshold (human biomechanical tolerance to harm). The graph below shows the passenger vehicle relationship between these three using a...

Last week our Project Development Lead (and cycling infrastructure fanatic) Max McCardel got out on the bike with Minister Ben Carroll and a group hosted by the Amy Gillett Foundation.Wonderful to see so many people committed to continuing the rollout of safe cycling...

Traffic signal borders (retroreflective). The US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) reports a 15% reduction in total crashes to traffic signals fitted with backing boards and retroreflective borders. Signal heads that have backing boards equipped with...

We’re excited to launch this new training course for engineers, designers and urban planners. The why, where, who and how of raised pedestrian crossings. Engaging and interactive online sessions run by industry experts; Hafez Alavi, Prue Oswin, Bridget Doran and Kenn...

We love designing raised pedestrian crossings (aka Wombat Crossings), but we don’t love the amount of signs we have to use.A while back our design engineers came up with a few ideas to consolidate the signage. Tell us what you think about the ideas in this fact...

It's Safe System Sketch time.Happy Friday.

We walk the walk. In the last five years, 175 pedestrians have been killed on Victorian roads.- Just over one third (36%) are aged 70+- One in four (24%) are aged 80+- Two thirds (67%) are male-  Almost four in ten (38%) are killed on 60km/h roads -- 70% are killed in...

Did you ever wonder why the Crash Reduction Factor (all casualty crashes) for a Grade Separation is only 50% (VicRoads & Austroads)?One of the main factors is that removing the one intersection creates two new intersections. If these new intersections are not...
