Techniques
Network Safety Plans
A Network Safety Plan is a structured, multi-year plan that an asset owner or jurisdiction prepares to drive measurable Safe System improvements across the road network they are responsible for. It combines network-screening analysis (which roads, intersections and corridors carry the most risk) with treatment-selection logic (which Safe System-aligned interventions will most reduce that risk at acceptable cost) and a delivery schedule that matches funding cycles and capital programs.
Network Safety Plans are aligned to the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030 targets and to jurisdiction-level KPIs, so progress can be rolled up consistently across the country. The plans typically span five to ten years and are reviewed annually, with crash, speed and exposure data feeding into refresh decisions. The technique is most effective when prepared jointly between the road agency and the elected leadership of the jurisdiction, so the funding mandate stays connected to the safety case.
