Road Safety Audit
Independent audits at all four DMRB stages, from preliminary design through to 36-month monitoring.
Motorcycle Audit
Vulnerable road user auditing tends to focus on encouraging better infrastructure for sustainable modes. Motorcyclists have had a lower profile within that user class, and that is a fundamental misunderstanding of the risk they carry.
The dynamics of motorcycles and the vulnerability of their riders make motorcycling an individual mode in the traffic mix, one that demands separate consideration by auditors.
What a motorcycle audit examines
Understanding the safety problems likely to face motorcyclists means looking at:
- Common characteristics of motorcycle crashes
- Hazard awareness for riders
- The safety implications of motorcycle dynamics and their relationship to road surface properties, street furniture and obstructions
- The different issues faced by riders in urban and rural environments
M&S Traffic has trained engineers who are themselves motorcyclists, ensuring the rider’s view is considered when inspecting routes, designing improvements or investigating the causes of crashes.
The rider’s view
Our audit team includes motorcyclists, so inspections are grounded in how a road actually feels to ride.
Surface and furniture
We assess how surface condition, ironwork and street furniture affect motorcycle handling and stability.
Other services
