It’s the earliest recognized stage and may not be applicable where this stage
will identify safety problems associated with the overall concept for a
protection, road network safety implication, route options, intersection and
interchanges types and location.
STAGE 2 : Draft (Preliminary Design Stage)
It is at this stage that many of the traffic engineering features of a project are
established, Most of these, Such as cross section elements, intersection /
interchange layout, lane and carriageway layout, traffic control options and
alignment standards.

STAGE 3 : Detailed Design Stage
In carrying out detailed design, designers are continually making balances and
judgments to the project. This stage will test the design decisions made against
road safety objectives and also identify potential hazards resulting from adverse
combinations of choosing a series of design criteria.
STAGE 4 : The Pre Opening Stage
Audit at this stage involves all site inspections of a project. The actual
placement of items such as guard railing , traffic signing, street lighting,
landscapes etc .. should be given to checking that the respective needs of all
road user groups meet desirable safety standards which that will be the last
chance to make sure that the project opens to traffic in the best condition to
provide safe and efficient operations.

STAGE 5 : RSA Of An Existing Road
An audit at this stage will identify safety problem which develop due to the
normal ‘wear and tear’ from traffic operations and also identify hazards due to
the way of the landscaping has matured.

• Increase the prominence of road safety in the minds of all involved in the planning,
design, construction, and maintenance of the project;
• Reduce the whole life cost of the project by reducing the number of post-opening
modifications; and
• Ensure inclusion of all road users rather than the traditional focus on the
automobile.
CONCLUSION
The auditor has visited and inspected the site. In addition,
related drawings have been studied. The issue highlight before
such as guardrail, transverse bar, sight distance, Ghost Island,
storage lane, seagull island is highly recommended. Hence,
recommendations are put forward for consideration and
implementation. With everybody’s commitment, hopefully the
accident occurrence and accident severity will reduce
significantly in our country.
