Road Safety and Traffic Solutions

What are road safety solutions?

Road safety solutions support governments and transport authorities to manage the complex issues arising from a growing population of road users. Today, more and more vehicles are on the road, leading to greater traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Therefore, it has to be ensured that the increased vehicle population does not adversely affect social costs, productivity and public healthcare spending. Transport advisory involves transport planning advisors providing authorities with external expertise which can help them respond to the challenges involved with managing today’s - and tomorrow’s - transport realities.

Why are road safety solutions important?

The benefits of using the services of transport planning advisors include:

• Minimise the risks of safety issues and accidents by improving driving standards and implementing national-scale road safety programmes, and road safety and traffic solutions for commuters
• Improve overall safety and quality of life by decreasing traffic accidents, controlling air pollution levels and reducing congestion
• Instil confidence and credibility into your road safety solutions by partnering with a company with proven success in implementing solutions on a nationwide level
• Reduce negative health impacts on society by meeting international environmental standards to control the level of air pollution as a direct result of vehicle emissions
• Implement road transport and traffic solutions faster by learning from best practice and experiences from other transport advisory projects to avoid ‘reinventing the wheel’
