What Is a Road Safety Audit — and Why It Matters for your project in Hampshire


A Road Safety Audit (RSA) is an independent review of highway design / works to ensure that new or modified roads are safe for all users. It’s a key requirement for planning permission and conducted following GG119 of the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) and TfL’s S2251 A1 (formerly SQA-0170).


Audits must be carried out by qualified, independent audit teams who were not involved in the design of the scheme.


They help identify potential highway safety issues before construction.  This can prevent casualties and injuries to end users, which minimises costly problems, protecting designers, developers, and highway authorities alike.


Typical triggers include:

A curved dark gray stripe and a parallel light blue stripe against a white background.

Planning applications affecting public highways or access

Section 38 / Section 278 agreements

A graphic design of a dark gray curved band above a wider light blue curved band, separated by a thin white arc.

Layout or junction changes

A curved, dark gray band sits above a matching light blue band, both separated by a white arced stripe.

Infrastructure and active travel schemes

In short, if your scheme changes how people move on or around the public highway, you’ll need a Road Safety Audit.

Independent Auditors

Hampshire

Independent, Efficient, and Always Compliant


We know that project deadlines can be tight, and requirements can feel confusing. Our job is to make the process as simple, clear, and quick as possible.


At GTC, every audit is carried out by accredited professionals.  Our teams hold the National Highways Certificate of Competence and are registered with the Society of Road Safety Auditors (SoRSA).


We work independently from design teams to deliver objective, practical feedback that satisfies local highway authorities and planning conditions in and around the UK.


Our reports are clear, balanced, and designed to  support design teams, not slow them down.

I’ve really enjoyed working with Wing on our S278 projects. His Road Safety Audit work is always clear, constructive, and easy to engage with. He takes a practical approach, communicates well with our team, and is always happy to talk through any points to help us reach the best outcome. It’s been a genuinely pleasant and reliable working relationship, and I’m very happy to recommend his services.

Stage 1–4 Road Safety Audits in Hampshire


We provide audits across all four stages defined in GG119 and S2251 A1, for schemes of every type and size in areas such as Winchester, Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Andover, Farnborough, and the rest of Hampshire.

Stage 1

Feasibility / Preliminary Design

Conducted before planning submission or early in design. Identifies potential safety issues early, saving time and redesign costs later.

Stage 2

Detailed Design

A review of detailed drawings and documentation before construction begins. Ensures compliance and safe provision for all road users.

Stage 3

Post-Construction / Pre-Opening

Carried out once works are complete but before opening to the public. Confirms the design has been built safely and functions as intended.

Stage 4

Monitoring / Collision Analysis

Reviews collision data after opening, assessing whether safety objectives have been met and recommending any follow-up improvements.

All audits are delivered with comprehensive reports, photographic evidence, and clear recommendations, ready for submission to local highway authorities, TfL or National Highways.
