Project Number: SAG6371
Walking is the indispensable leg of a sustainable transport system. Pedestrian safety is crucial to Australia and New Zealand reducing road fatalities and serious injuries to zero by 2050.
Austroads’ Project SAG6371 is a comprehensive program to help significantly reduce the risk to pedestrians in the road transport system over the next decade. The project will:
1. Review travel and trauma data to better understand pedestrian safety risk priorities
2. Identify priorities to improve data needed to support investment in pedestrian safety
3. Assess strategies and interventions to progress pedestrian safety Vision Zero
4. Develop practitioner guidance to support implementation of pedestrian safety measures
5. Support jurisdictions planning to eliminate pedestrian death and serious injury
The consortium of HA Consulting, Abley, Strandroth Inc. and Road Safety Pioneers have been appointed by Austroads to carry out Stream 1 of Project SAG6371 which aims to address the first three items above. The consultants team will be led by two Technical Leads: Dr Hafez Alavi (HA Consulting) and Dr Shane Turner (Abley), and work closely with the Austroads Project Manager, Phil Harbutt (PivotSpace).
Work on items 4 and 5 above will commence in 2024.
