Road safety audits
We commissioned independent road safety audits of the trial project at the design and construction stages of each of the two phases of the project.
The recommendations of the reporting organisation, that carried out the audit, intended to indicate viable ways of removing or mitigating an identified issue. The project team then determined what design changes should be implemented. You can find a project team response at the end of the report which details the design changes to the project in response to the audit.
