Years delivering complex transport infrastructure.
Road safety audits successfully completed
Traffic & transportation professionals trained.
While our speciality lies in Road Safety Engineering, Traffico has accumulated significant expertise delivering land transportation infrastructure projects across every scheme stage, from feasibility to opening and ongoing operations. Our mission is to deliver innovative solutions that are environmentally responsible and considerate of the communities we serve.
Road Safety Audit
Our Road Safety Auditors have amassed vast experience in designing and delivering transportation schemes through all commission stages.
This broad based experience means that we place great emphasise on collaborating with the Design Team to arrive at practical cost-effective scheme solutions.
Traffic Engineering
We drive our Client’s development costs down by collecting and assimilating comprehensive end user data.
We’ve learned that this approach serves to provide us with much deeper insights into end user behaviour which has led to consistently better design decisions and improved development outcomes.
Land Use & Transport Planning
Traffico has leveraged extensive project lifecycle expertise to support the effective delivery of transport strategies and master plans for a range of developments.
These include retail parks, supermarkets, shopping centres, residential projects, petrol filling stations, motorway service areas, as well as complex sites such as airports, hospitals, and urban centres.
Providing focused learning opportunities to help transportation professionals build skills, gain knowledge, and advance their careers.

About the Practical Road Safety Auditing Course
In this video, you will be provided with a flavour of our Practical Road Safety Auditing Course, which is for individuals who wish to become a TII approved Road Safety Auditor, or those required to manage the Road Safety Audit Process.
What is a Road Safety Audit?
This video will help you to understand what a Road Safety Audit is. It also describes the purpose of a Road Safety Audit, which is to help ensure that all road and street schemes operate as safely as possible.
Understanding Road Collisions
If you watch this video, you’ll learn about the ‘causal-chain’ which can often lead to a road collision happening on our roads.

A road safety audit is a structured process designed to identify safety hazards within a scheme’s design or construction which may affect any road user.
Every road safety audit should be carried out by a TII approved Road Safety Audit Team with proven road safety engineering expertise. It’s important for the Audit Team to be fully independent of the Design Team. The team should include as a minimum, an Audit Team Leader and an Audit Team Member.
The following six stages of road safety audit have been carefully designed to align with the key milestones of a road schemes’ development from route optioneering through to operations and maintenance:
Stage F: Options selection, prior to route choice.
Stage 1: Completion of Preliminary Design, prior to land acquisition, examines a level of detail you might expect for a Planning Application.
Stage 2: Completion of Detailed Design, prior to tender of construction contract.
Stage 1 & 2: Completion of detailed design, prior to tender of construction contract, for small schemes where only one design stage audit is appropriate and drawings suitable for a Stage 2 audit are available.
Stage 3: Completion of construction; where practicable this should be prior to opening of the scheme, or part of the scheme, to traffic.
Stage 4: Early operation at 2 to 4 months’ post road opening with live traffic.
A planning application will require a Preliminary Design drawing to describe the proposed changes to the road environment.
A Stage 1 Road Safety Audit would therefore be required to accompany a planning application.
Following a Grant of Planning, the Preliminary Design drawing will be developed into a Detailed Design pack of drawings which a contractor would use to construct the road works.
A Stage 2 Road Safety Audit should be undertaken on completion of Detailed Design pack of drawings, prior to tender of the construction contract.
A Stage 3 Road Safety Audit should be undertaken on completion of the road works, giving consideration to the as-constructed scheme.
Where practicable, the Stage 3 Road Safety Audit should be undertaken prior to the opening of the roadworks, or part of the roadworks, to traffic.
