The Safe System
Principles• People make mistakes
• Limited human tolerance to crash forces
• Shared responsibility
• Solutions can be found across all pillars
Other elements• Proactive approach
• Focus on fatal and serious injuries
• A vision – directs interim strategies
See Section 2

Towards Safe Systems Infrastructure: A Compendium of Knowledge
• A reference document for the latest evidence and commentary
• Aimed at broad range of people including practitioners involved with the planning, design, management and maintenance of the road network; good background information for those in other areas of road safety
• Clarifies practical steps to take things forward

• Knowledge and practice in the area is evolving rapidly
• Must do things differently to the past innovation is essential
• The focus is on harm minimisation - make sure you consider the opportunity to achieve this in your decision processes!
• Infrastructure alone cannot deliver the desired outcomes however there is still not strong alignment to the strengths of vehicle design, human performance or the role of speed and energy in injury outcomes

Key messages
• Work through a treatment hierarchy−Based on ability to eliminate harm
• Consider system redundancy
• Look for differing opportunities to mitigate risk with:−Exposure−Likelihood−Severity

• We need appropriate expectations:
• Estimates of residual crashes still sit around 30-85% mark
• Redundancy is required across pillars
• Vehicles need to be able to interpret and interact with roads
Autonomous vehicles not infrastructure?

• Clear zones cannot be relied upon in isolation to achieve Safe System outcomes
• Wide clear zones are often difficult to achieve
• Even wide clear zones do not converge towards zero FSI crashes
• Rollover crashes increase with increasing clear zone width
• Centre barrier can assist with depart right, head-on and depart left crashes involving yaw

• Design features that guarantee survivable impact speed and configurations
• Default position is protected turns (signals)
• Limit points of conflict and simplify decision making
• Geometry that mitigates consequences of deliberate risk taking or driver error
• Dynamic visual obstruction considered
• Secondary impacts considered
• “Looked but did not see” collisions considered

• Importance on road function
• Movement and Place = safety mobility
• Match traffic speeds to road infrastructure, road use and function − ‘Engineer up’ if higher speeds are
required (including protection/ separation for vulnerable road users)
−Reduce speed limit where quality of infrastructure is not appropriate for current speed.

Cyclists Safe System approach
It is currently unclear what a Safe System for cyclists looks like if we maintain a car perspective
“Mix traffic where speeds are lowSeparate traffic where speeds are too highAnd introduce targeted speed reduction where pedestrians and cyclists meet motorized traffic flows”
– Dutch Advancing Sustainable Safety

• Severe injuries can occur at 30 km/h + impacts with barrier post (Bambach and Grzebieta 2015)

Towards zero goal KPI
For roads without mid- and side-barriers, maximise percent VKT with speed limits of <80km/h.
Percentage of VKT on roads without mid- and side-barriers with speed limits <80 km/h.
Ensure intersections are designed to achieve minimal conflicts and/or entry speeds not greater than 50 km/h.
Percentage of vehicle movements entering intersections designed at not more than 50 km/h.
Ensure traffic speeds in streets used to access schools, or places where children, senior citizens or mobility impaired people live or gather, are limited to and designed for 30 or 40 km/h.
Percentage of vehicles using roads and streets with significant numbers of children, senior citizens and mobility-impaired people that are at or below 40 km/h and at or below 30 km/h.
Ensure walking and cycling become, low-risk, convenient choice for short-medium length journeys. Increases in safe walking and cycling mode share.
Ensure residential areas will be limited to and designed for 30 or 40 km/h travel
Percentage of VKT in local streets at or below 40 km/h and at below 30 km/h.

jurisdictions, state and local government)
• Based on Australian crash data, speeds and traffic
• Safe System:
– Fatal and serious injury crash focus, proactive and reactive
– Allows systematic (route or network)
• Outcome of an Austroads research project
