TOWARDS IMPLEMENTING ROAD SAFETY INSPECTION ( ) IN MALAYSIA
ROAD SAFETY INSPECTION
WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON?2
Why are our roads not being inspected regularly?
ROAD SAFETY INSPECTION
WHAT IS RSI?
• Road Safety Inspection (RSI) is a systematic andinternationally recognized road safety inspectionprocedure by the PIARC (World Road Congress), under theTechnical Committee of PIARC (TC 3.1)
• A Road Safety Inspection (RSI) is a systematic, on site review, conducted by expert(s), of an existing road or section of road to identify hazardous conditions, faults and deficiencies that may lead to serious road crash
• RSI’s aim
• Remove or minimize the likelihood of a crash and its severity.
• Identify features that may contribute to crashes,
• Propose recommendations to improve the safety conditions based on inspection results.

“A road safety audit (RSA) and a road safety inspection (RSI) are used to test the safety level of the road infrastructure. The RSA tests the design of new roads or the reconstruction of existing roads, whereas the RSI is used for testing existing roads.”

Location New road project Existing roads
Personnel Independent, qualified auditor or team lead

Independent, qualified inspectors/road safety experts
or team lead by an inspector
Qualification Civil engineering – Road Traffic Engineer Interdisciplinary - Civil, Biomechanical, Psychologist, Social Science, etc.
Reporting • Audit the project by road standards and
guidelines and potential crash occurrence and may or may not suggest
improvement to the designer
• Inspect on road safety problems on the existing road for all type of road users and suggest improvements.
• May be thematic and may be prioritized
• Inspect on road traffic environment and road user
behaviour and potential crash occurrence.
Duration RSA duration is according to the road
project schedule. It ends after 6 month of the road opening
RSI is an on-going process, with roads being subject to re-inspection at regular intervals
Cost and

May be from operational / maintenance cost

ROAD SAFETY INSPECTION
WHY DO WE NEED RSI?
8
J.Treat et al, Tri-Level Study of the Causes of Traffic Accidents, 1979, Washington DC
In every third crash, the existing road environment has some considerable influence.
The roads were designed and constructed some decades ago for less amount of traffic and a slower car fleet.
With the Inspector expert knowledge and with systematic RSI approach, it is possible to reduce the number and the severity of traffic crashes the of existing roads.
Due to technological developments and new technical standards, existing road equipment may become obsolete, its replacement being necessary.
There is strong evidence that such inspections are highly cost-effective. Saving of only one human life per year in an inspected road section, the resulting benefit of the RSI would be much higher than the relevant cost.

THE WAY FORWARD FOR RSI IN MALAYSIA
11
ROAD SAFETY INSPECTION
WAY FORWARD FOR RSI
• MIROS intends to make RSI as one of its operations; to
inspect the existing road safety level.
• To ensure that RSI is recognized and widely accepted by
various parties, MIROS intends to be recognized by the
Department of Standards Malaysia (JSM) as an
accredited inspection body under the Malaysian
Inspection Bodies Accreditation Scheme (MIBAS),
scheme using the benchmarking of the PIARC.
• MIBAS (MS ISO / IEC 17020 (ILAC P15: 07/2016) is a unified
national inspection body accreditation scheme and its
scope of accreditation goes beyond multiple disciplines.

THE RSI PROCESS
Preparatory office work On Site Field Study RSI Report Follow up
21
• The background information about the road, the function of
the road, the road standard
and the traffic volumes should
be obtained.
• The crash data can also be included if available.
• All relevant guidelines and
regulations need to be available associated to the site.
• Detailed maps or drawings or video footage should be made
available.
• Measuring and surveying road geometry and
infrastructure
• Observing road user exposure and risky
behavior
• Speeding behavior among road users
• Risky movement among road users• Red light running
• Illegal movement
• Dangerous maneuvers – weaving, lane
hogging, occupying shoulder
• Serious conflict occurrence
• Detecting Road infrastructure deficiencies• Via drive through observations
• Via walk through observations
• Follow up with road authority on the remedial work.
• Remedial action is not a part of RSI itself. However, implementation of measures is an important issue to ensure the effectiveness of the procedure.
