“the Constitution” shall mean the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa,
Act
“Corridor Plan” shall mean the plan indicating the extent and position of the
current and future road infrastructure network
A Road Safety Audit is a proactive road safety tool with proven international success. As a
responsible Road Authority, SANRAL does not have to wait for the accumulation of serious injury
and fatal crashes before positive steps can be taken to reduce such risk. Furthermore, SANRAL has
a leading role to play in developing capacity and inculcating a road safety culture among all those
who have a stake in developing our road environment. Road Safety Audits play a significant role in
ensuring that we provide a road environment that is forgiving, self-explaining and provides for the
needs of all road users.
(a) Current Road Safety Audit Capacity Challenges
Road Safety Audits may be conducted at all stages of the life cycle of a project. However, given
current Road Safety Auditor capacity constraints in the industry, SANRAL must endeavour to
introduce Road Safety Audits at specific stages of specific projects which will provide the highest
road safety return, for such investment. SANRAL together with its partners must endeavour to
develop Road Safety Auditor capacity, through the initiation and promotion of recognised and
accredited Road Safety Audit courses, and the creation of opportunities to gain appropriate road
safety audit experience.
(b) Objective of this Road Safety Audit Policy
This SANRAL Road Safety Audit Policy therefore identifies the type and stages of SANRAL projects
on for which Road Safety Audits should be conducted, the size of the Road Safety Audit Team, the
minimum requirements of the Road safety Audit Team Leader and Members, the roles and
responsibilities of the Road Safety Audit Team, as well as that of the Engineering Services Provider
(Main Consultant appointed by SANRAL), who shall appoint the independent Road Safety Audit
Team.
SANRAL was party of the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) technical team that
developed the South African Road Safety Audit Manual, (Version May 2012). SANRAL has
therefore adopted this manual as the official guidance in conducting Road Safety Audits on SANRAL
projects. A copy of the latest version of this manual is available on the SANRAL and the RTMC’s
website. It is important that SANRAL Project Managers read and understand how Road Safety
Audits are conducted, from inception to final implementation of recommendations, in terms of this
Manual.
SANRAL Road Safety Audit Policy February 2018 (Draft)
All New Facilities and Upgrading (Strengthening and Improvement) Road Projects shall undergo
Road Safety Audits at specified stages. For the purposes of this policy, New Road Projects, refer to
Greenfields and New Facilities. Upgrading Projects include Strengthening and Improvement
Projects. Strengthening Projects include, Rehabilitation, Reconstruction (including partialreconstruction) and Bridges. Improvement Projects include improvements to Level of Service,
Capacity, Alignment and bridges.
The following Stages of Road Safety Audits will be applied to the following project types:

Stage 5: Pre-opening X(Optional) X (Optional) X (Optional)
Total Number of Minimum of 3 Minimum of 2 Minimum of 2
Audits
It is acknowledged that certain other project types may well warrant a Road Safety Audit for any
one or more of its Stages. For example, certain Periodic Maintenance projects may well entail
certain design improvements such as upgrade of signage or intersection layout improvements,
which may warrant a Road Safety Audit specifically in Stages 2 and/or 3. It is therefore important
that the relevant Project Manager consult with the relevant Regional Road Safety Engineering
Focus Group members to confirm whether a Road Safety Audit is to be performed on such project
or not. This consultation must happen at an early enough stage for the road safety audit to be
included in Engineering Services procurement documentation.
SANRAL Road Safety Audit Policy February 2018 (Draft)
The size of the Road Safety Audit Team will be dictated by the size, complexity and stage/s of the
project to be Audited. Generally the Road Safety Audit Team will comprise a Road Safety Audit
Team Leader and at least two additional Audit Team Members. The Audit Team Leader is the lead
Auditor that is responsible for compiling the Road Safety Audit Report and representing the Audit
Team in engaging with Engineering Services Provider and SANRAL. The Audit Team Members assists
and contributes to the Road Safety Audit.
In order to promote Road Safety Capacity Development, SANRAL may at its sole discretion allow an
additional Road Safety Audit Team Member who is under the direct employ of Engineering Service
Provider (Main Consultant), provided that such Road Safety Audit Member signs a declaration and
undertaking that he/she is and will not be directly involved in stage of design of the same project
to be Audited.
The Road Safety Audit Team Leader must:
Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), or other international body recognized by
SANRAL; and
Engineering and/or Geometric Design; and
least 5 CPD points,
o within the last 5 years of tendering or if longer than 5 years ago, having completed
the 2 CPD point RSA for Manager’s course within the last 3 years. or
o wIthin the last 5 years of tendering, or
o within the last 8 years f tendering.
o
Road Safety Audit Team Leader or Member.

least 5 CPD point.
SANRAL Road Safety Audit Policy February 2018 (Draft)
The employer may make provision for additional Road Safety Team Members by allowing for
financial provision in the Road Audit Quotation Document. The employer may target RSA Team
Members that meet the above criteria, that are specifically employed by Emerging Micro
Enterprises (EMEs). This provision is in the interest of allowing further opportunity for EME RSA
Team members to progress to RSA Team Leader.
Road Safety Audit Team Observer:
local or specialised road safety experience on the team. Examples of these include Traffic
Law Enforcement officials and School Representatives.
(a) The Engineering Service Provider must develop a Scope of Works for the Road Safety
Audit Team. Such Scope of Works shall comprise but is not limited to the following:
Employer and
(b) Recommend with motivation the Road Safety Audit Team composition.
(c) Request quotations (or let a tender in terms of the Supply Chain Management) and
recommend an independent Road Safety Audit Team to SANRAL.
(d) Furthermore, the Engineering Services Provider shall:
i. Compile and Issue an Audit Brief to Audit Team.
ii. Initiate and conduct a Commencement Meeting with the Road Safety Audit
Team.
iii. Attend a Completion Meeting if requested by the Employer.
iv. Review Road Safety Audit Findings and Recommendations.
v. Compile and Issue Response Report including Risk Assessment of Safety
Concerns.
(e) Implement Design Changes agreed to with Employer.
SANRAL Road Safety Audit Policy February 2018 (Draft)
(f) Provide written feedback on lessons learned and knowledge gained.
It is important that SANRAL specify a proper close-out procedure to the Road Safety Audit process.
The non-response by the Engineering Service Provider or SANRAL to the Road Safety Audit Findings,
can have serious consequences.
Furthermore, it is important that the Regional Road Safety Engineering Focus Group representatives
and the Regional Road Safety Audit Coordinator be informed regularly of:
The following are the steps to be followed for Responding to a Road Safety Audit Report to ensure
a proper close-out of the Road Safety Audit process.
Step 1: Issue of Road Safety Audit Report
The Road Safety Audit Team Leader shall send a draft report to the Engineering Service Provider.
The Audit Team Leader shall discuss the draft report with the Engineering Service Provider prior to
formal submission. The purpose of this discussion is solely to ensure that the findings and
recommendations are within the scope of the Audit, as defined in the audit brief. Once the Road
Safety Audit Report is issued, it is a FINAL report – the report cannot be amended.
Step 2: Completion Meeting
After receipt of the Final Road Safety Audit Report, the Engineering Service Provider must arrange
for a Completion Meeting, attended by the SANRAL Project Manager, Road Safety Audit Team and
the Engineering Service Provider (Design Team Leader)
The Completion Meeting provides the opportunity to better understand the approach by the Audit
Team in assessing the safety performance of the project.
Step 3: Response Report
After the Completion Meeting, the Engineering Service Provider will produce a Road Safety Audit
Response Report for the SANRAL Project Manager, with recommendations on how each Road
Safety Audit Finding will be responded to. It is important to note that Road Safety Audit Finding
Recommendations are not mandatory, however due to the potential for litigation subsequent to a
crash at an audited site, it is necessary that the audit findings and recommendations be given due
consideration, and the reasons for not accepting the recommendations forthwith, or for adopting
another solution or delaying the implementation of the recommendations be well documented in
the Road Safety Audit Response Report.
Each finding in the Road Safety Audit Report can be dealt with by either:
action;
SANRAL Road Safety Audit Policy February 2018 (Draft)
only go part of the way to resolve the safety problem, or implement a different solution than
that recommended in the Audit Report;
In addition, it is important that the Engineering Service Provider on deciding and recommending to
the SANRAL Project Manager the responses to the Road Safety Audit findings, conduct a thorough
Risk Assessment in line with the procedure contained in Section 3.10.2, of the SARSAM May 2012.
Step 4: SANRAL Project Manager Sign Off.
The relevant SANRAL Project Manager must in writing formally, Agree, Disagree or Amend the
Engineering Service Provider’s Responses to the Road Safety Audit Findings, as contained in the
Road Safety Audit Response Report.
The SANRAL Project Manager must instruct the Engineering Service Provider to implement such
Agreed, Disagreed or Amended Recommendations.

“Corridor Plan” shall mean the plan indicating the extent and position of the
current and future road infrastructure network
A Road Safety Audit is a proactive road safety tool with proven international success. As a
responsible Road Authority, SANRAL does not have to wait for the accumulation of serious injury
and fatal crashes before positive steps can be taken to reduce such risk. Furthermore, SANRAL has
a leading role to play in developing capacity and inculcating a road safety culture among all those
who have a stake in developing our road environment. Road Safety Audits play a significant role in
ensuring that we provide a road environment that is forgiving, self-explaining and provides for the
needs of all road users.
(a) Current Road Safety Audit Capacity Challenges
Road Safety Audits may be conducted at all stages of the life cycle of a project. However, given
current Road Safety Auditor capacity constraints in the industry, SANRAL must endeavour to
introduce Road Safety Audits at specific stages of specific projects which will provide the highest
road safety return, for such investment. SANRAL together with its partners must endeavour to
develop Road Safety Auditor capacity, through the initiation and promotion of recognised and
accredited Road Safety Audit courses, and the creation of opportunities to gain appropriate road
safety audit experience.
(b) Objective of this Road Safety Audit Policy
This SANRAL Road Safety Audit Policy therefore identifies the type and stages of SANRAL projects
on for which Road Safety Audits should be conducted, the size of the Road Safety Audit Team, the
minimum requirements of the Road safety Audit Team Leader and Members, the roles and
responsibilities of the Road Safety Audit Team, as well as that of the Engineering Services Provider
(Main Consultant appointed by SANRAL), who shall appoint the independent Road Safety Audit
Team.
SANRAL was party of the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) technical team that
developed the South African Road Safety Audit Manual, (Version May 2012). SANRAL has
therefore adopted this manual as the official guidance in conducting Road Safety Audits on SANRAL
projects. A copy of the latest version of this manual is available on the SANRAL and the RTMC’s
website. It is important that SANRAL Project Managers read and understand how Road Safety
Audits are conducted, from inception to final implementation of recommendations, in terms of this
Manual.
SANRAL Road Safety Audit Policy February 2018 (Draft)
All New Facilities and Upgrading (Strengthening and Improvement) Road Projects shall undergo
Road Safety Audits at specified stages. For the purposes of this policy, New Road Projects, refer to
Greenfields and New Facilities. Upgrading Projects include Strengthening and Improvement
Projects. Strengthening Projects include, Rehabilitation, Reconstruction (including partialreconstruction) and Bridges. Improvement Projects include improvements to Level of Service,
Capacity, Alignment and bridges.
The following Stages of Road Safety Audits will be applied to the following project types:

Stage 5: Pre-opening X(Optional) X (Optional) X (Optional)
Total Number of Minimum of 3 Minimum of 2 Minimum of 2
Audits
It is acknowledged that certain other project types may well warrant a Road Safety Audit for any
one or more of its Stages. For example, certain Periodic Maintenance projects may well entail
certain design improvements such as upgrade of signage or intersection layout improvements,
which may warrant a Road Safety Audit specifically in Stages 2 and/or 3. It is therefore important
that the relevant Project Manager consult with the relevant Regional Road Safety Engineering
Focus Group members to confirm whether a Road Safety Audit is to be performed on such project
or not. This consultation must happen at an early enough stage for the road safety audit to be
included in Engineering Services procurement documentation.
SANRAL Road Safety Audit Policy February 2018 (Draft)
The size of the Road Safety Audit Team will be dictated by the size, complexity and stage/s of the
project to be Audited. Generally the Road Safety Audit Team will comprise a Road Safety Audit
Team Leader and at least two additional Audit Team Members. The Audit Team Leader is the lead
Auditor that is responsible for compiling the Road Safety Audit Report and representing the Audit
Team in engaging with Engineering Services Provider and SANRAL. The Audit Team Members assists
and contributes to the Road Safety Audit.
In order to promote Road Safety Capacity Development, SANRAL may at its sole discretion allow an
additional Road Safety Audit Team Member who is under the direct employ of Engineering Service
Provider (Main Consultant), provided that such Road Safety Audit Member signs a declaration and
undertaking that he/she is and will not be directly involved in stage of design of the same project
to be Audited.
The Road Safety Audit Team Leader must:
Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), or other international body recognized by
SANRAL; and
Engineering and/or Geometric Design; and
least 5 CPD points,
o within the last 5 years of tendering or if longer than 5 years ago, having completed
the 2 CPD point RSA for Manager’s course within the last 3 years. or

SANRAL Road Safety Audit Policy February 2018 (Draft)
The employer may make provision for additional Road Safety Team Members by allowing for
financial provision in the Road Audit Quotation Document. The employer may target RSA Team
Members that meet the above criteria, that are specifically employed by Emerging Micro
Enterprises (EMEs). This provision is in the interest of allowing further opportunity for EME RSA
Team members to progress to RSA Team Leader.
Road Safety Audit Team Observer:
local or specialised road safety experience on the team. Examples of these include Traffic
Law Enforcement officials and School Representatives.
(a) The Engineering Service Provider must develop a Scope of Works for the Road Safety
Audit Team. Such Scope of Works shall comprise but is not limited to the following:
Employer and
(b) Recommend with motivation the Road Safety Audit Team composition.
(c) Request quotations (or let a tender in terms of the Supply Chain Management) and
recommend an independent Road Safety Audit Team to SANRAL.
(d) Furthermore, the Engineering Services Provider shall:
i. Compile and Issue an Audit Brief to Audit Team.
ii. Initiate and conduct a Commencement Meeting with the Road Safety Audit
Team.
iii. Attend a Completion Meeting if requested by the Employer.
iv. Review Road Safety Audit Findings and Recommendations.
v. Compile and Issue Response Report including Risk Assessment of Safety
Concerns.
(e) Implement Design Changes agreed to with Employer.
SANRAL Road Safety Audit Policy February 2018 (Draft)
(f) Provide written feedback on lessons learned and knowledge gained.
It is important that SANRAL specify a proper close-out procedure to the Road Safety Audit process.
The non-response by the Engineering Service Provider or SANRAL to the Road Safety Audit Findings,
can have serious consequences.
Furthermore, it is important that the Regional Road Safety Engineering Focus Group representatives
and the Regional Road Safety Audit Coordinator be informed regularly of:
The following are the steps to be followed for Responding to a Road Safety Audit Report to ensure
a proper close-out of the Road Safety Audit process.
Step 1: Issue of Road Safety Audit Report
The Road Safety Audit Team Leader shall send a draft report to the Engineering Service Provider.
The Audit Team Leader shall discuss the draft report with the Engineering Service Provider prior to
formal submission. The purpose of this discussion is solely to ensure that the findings and
recommendations are within the scope of the Audit, as defined in the audit brief. Once the Road
Safety Audit Report is issued, it is a FINAL report – the report cannot be amended.
Step 2: Completion Meeting
After receipt of the Final Road Safety Audit Report, the Engineering Service Provider must arrange
for a Completion Meeting, attended by the SANRAL Project Manager, Road Safety Audit Team and
the Engineering Service Provider (Design Team Leader)
The Completion Meeting provides the opportunity to better understand the approach by the Audit
Team in assessing the safety performance of the project.
Step 3: Response Report
After the Completion Meeting, the Engineering Service Provider will produce a Road Safety Audit
Response Report for the SANRAL Project Manager, with recommendations on how each Road
Safety Audit Finding will be responded to. It is important to note that Road Safety Audit Finding
Recommendations are not mandatory, however due to the potential for litigation subsequent to a
crash at an audited site, it is necessary that the audit findings and recommendations be given due
consideration, and the reasons for not accepting the recommendations forthwith, or for adopting
another solution or delaying the implementation of the recommendations be well documented in
the Road Safety Audit Response Report.
Each finding in the Road Safety Audit Report can be dealt with by either:
action;
SANRAL Road Safety Audit Policy February 2018 (Draft)
only go part of the way to resolve the safety problem, or implement a different solution than
that recommended in the Audit Report;
In addition, it is important that the Engineering Service Provider on deciding and recommending to
the SANRAL Project Manager the responses to the Road Safety Audit findings, conduct a thorough
Risk Assessment in line with the procedure contained in Section 3.10.2, of the SARSAM May 2012.
Step 4: SANRAL Project Manager Sign Off.
The relevant SANRAL Project Manager must in writing formally, Agree, Disagree or Amend the
Engineering Service Provider’s Responses to the Road Safety Audit Findings, as contained in the
Road Safety Audit Response Report.
The SANRAL Project Manager must instruct the Engineering Service Provider to implement such
Agreed, Disagreed or Amended Recommendations.
