PURPOSE:

The purpose of this request for Expressions of Interest (EOI) is to identify appropriately qualified and motivated practitioners and experts to contribute to the Austroads project Keeping People Safe When Walking (SAG6371) - Stream 2: Better Guidance.
The Keeping People Safe When Walking project’s purpose is to support meaningful action to reduce the risk in the Australia and New Zealand road transport systems of death and serious injury for people walking, in line with national and jurisdictional 2030 and 2050 road safety targets.

Stream 1 Data Evidence and Interventions has been underway since March 2023 and has culminated in the following (forthcoming) research publications:
1. Pedestrian Safety Problem and Project Methodology

4. Recommended Pedestrian Safety Interventions.

Stream 2 Better Guidance builds on the work of Steam 1 to focus on areas of greatest value to Austroads members in delivering pedestrian safety outcomes. It will strengthen guidance and include an assessment of current practice by Austroads members, a gap analysis against best practice, and showcase examples of best practice from Australia and New Zealand.
