Road Safety Audits (RSA)

Independent Road Safety Audits for Safer Roads and Communities

At GHA Engineers, we deliver independent Road Safety Audits (RSAs) for transport and infrastructure projects throughout Melbourne and Victoria. Working closely with local councils, civil contractors, developers, consultants, and government agencies, our accredited Road Safety Auditors identify potential safety risks at every stage of a project and provide practical recommendations to enhance safety outcomes for all road users.

Road Safety Audits are a proactive and cost-effective process used to evaluate the safety performance and crash potential of both existing and proposed road infrastructure. Our audits provide an independent review of roads, intersections, shared paths, footpaths, bicycle facilities, car parks, and traffic management arrangements to help create safer, more accessible, and more resilient transport networks.

All audits are undertaken independently of the design team and are completed in accordance with the Austroads Guide to Road Safety Part 6 – Road Safety Audit and relevant Victorian road authority requirements, ensuring an objective, comprehensive, and industry-compliant assessment of road safety risks.
