The International Road Federation (IRF) is hosting a training series titled Road Safety Audits: From Concept to Results.

Road safety audit and inspections serve the common purpose of identifying risk factors related to road design or traffic control that may lead to crashes or make crashes more severe. In many cases, they also assist network highway operators and city traffic departments in identifying engineering weaknesses and hazardous locations, even in the absence of robust traffic injury data.

Almost 85% of countries surveyed by the WHO currently report implementing road safety audits or inspections, and it is important for all road safety professionals to understand how to design and implement them correctly for maximum safety benefits.

This training series will be taught over a two-week period with live 2.5-hour on-line sessions held Monday through Thursday, 3am to 6am PT. Upon completion, IRF will administer an on-line knowledge test. Participants with a score of 80% or greater will be awarded a certificate verifying their successful training completion.

This course includes access to IRF's Road Safety Audit Team Leader Certification Program.
