Each audit provides clear, actionable recommendations to improve road safety for all users.
Practical Recommendations
Audits ensure highway schemes meet GG119 (DMRB) standards and national highway safety requirements.
Ensure Compliance
Planning authorities increasingly require RSAs as a condition of approval for development schemes.
Support Planning Applications
Potential hazards are identified before roads open to traffic, reducing the risk of collisions and injuries.
Identify Safety Risks Early
A Road Safety Audit (RSA) is a formal, independent assessment of a highway scheme's potential for road traffic collisions and its impact on the safety of all road users. RSAs are carried out at key stages of a project — from preliminary design through to post-opening monitoring.
Planning authorities and highway bodies across the UK increasingly require GG119-compliant Road Safety Audits as a condition of planning consent. Whether you are a property developer, transport planner, or local authority, an independent RSA helps demonstrate that your scheme has been assessed against national safety standards.
"A systematic and independent review of highway schemes designed to identify potential road safety issues and minimise collision risk for all road users."

What Is a Road Safety Audit?

Stage 4: Post-Completion Review
After the scheme has been open to traffic, we monitor collision data and observe road user behaviour to assess the real-world safety performance and recommend any further improvements.
Stage 3: Scheme Completion
Following construction, we carry out an on-site inspection to confirm the completed scheme matches the approved design and that no new hazards have been introduced during construction.

Road Safety Audits typically include four stages, each aligned with a key phase of your highway project. We deliver all four stages to GG119 (DMRB) standards.

Stage 2: Detailed Design
At the detailed design stage, we assess refined plans to ensure all safety concerns are addressed. Road layouts, junction geometry, signage and pedestrian facilities are all scrutinised.
Stage 1: Preliminary Design
We review the preliminary design to identify potential safety issues before detailed plans are drawn. This proactive approach prevents costly revisions and ensures safety is embedded from the outset.
We understand project timelines. Competitive rates with rapid delivery to keep your scheme on track.

All audits follow the latest Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) guidance and GG119 standards.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
Mr P. Lyndsay-Finn
“I instructed DAGA Limited on a campaign to get my local Council to consider an experimental road closure in the street where I live in Camden, London as the traffic noise and volume was very disruptive to myself and my neighbours. DAGA provided traffic and safety engineering advice throughout our negotiations with the Council and guided my fellow neighbours and I through the whole process, giving us the confidence to deal effectively with Council officers on a level playing field. During the two years in which I have dealt with David he has deployed a clear strategy and his tactical expertise in these matters has helped us greatly”
