Road safety engineering
Medway Council's road safety
engineers work closely with Kent Police, sharing records
that detail any road collision that has taken place on
Medway's network.
Over time, if a number
of collisions have taken place in close proximity to one
another, the area will be flagged up as a 'cluster
site', meaning road safety engineers will:
- investigate the current
and previous collision records, considering factors leading up to
the crash;
- visit the site in
question;
- take into consideration any
local insight and knowledge from residents and the local
community.
Each road
safety scheme is unique, designed to change the road
environment and ultimately increase the level of road safety in
that area. The engineers produce schemes that address
various issues, such as:
- crashes resulting in personal injury caused by
driving at inappropriate speed;
- road layout;
- junction safety;
- turning manoeuvres;
- visibility;
- vulnerable road users.
