What is a Safe System Assessment?

Using a specialist, independent and qualified team, a Safe System Assessment is the formal safety examination of a road related program, project or initiative. The Safe System Assessment can comprehensively assess the safety of:

• an existing road, intersection or length,
• a road investment project, whether at feasibility, design or pre-opening stage,
• a community road safety program or funding application,
• ​a road transport policy or strategy. These assessments are carried out considering each of the core components of the Safe System.
