Applications for our next webinar are now open on the topic of Road Safety Star Ratings - Applications of AusRAP.

The webinar will look to provide insights on the Road Star Rating tool, focusing on the application of Star Ratings in program development, infrastructure upgrades and how they could integrate into Road Safety Auditing.

Star Ratings provide an objective measure of the level of safety that is ‘built-in’ to the road. Star Ratings from 1 to 5 are determined by the road infrastructure attributes and speeds without reference crash data which can be sparse. Star Ratings are provided for pedestrians, motorcyclists, passenger vehicles and cyclists and can be completed on existing roads or road designs.

We will be hearing from Gabby O'Neill and Mark Ellis from the National Office of Road Safety which forms part of the Department of Transport, Infrastructure and Regional Cities and Communications. This will be accompanied by state-level discussions from Joseph Le from Transport for NSW and Kenn Beer from Safe System Solutions Pty Ltd.

To register for this event:

When: 25 November 2021

Time: 4:30pm - 6:00pm AEDT [3:30pm AEST / 6:30pm NZDT / 1:30pm AWST ]
