Road Safety

Guided by five core principles of safety, we aim to keep you secure on the road.

Engineering

We focus on technology that can increase safety in pavements, guardrails, road assets, and video analytics, recognising that these advancements are pivotal in creating a secure infrastructure.

Expressway Infrastructure

Blackspot Locations Improvement
We identify Blackspot locations by analysing accident numbers and weighting points for on-site work.
Road Assets
We test signage reflectivity, upgrade fencing, and replace signs and wire rope to guardrails as vital improvement measures.
Congestion Management
We implement SMARTLane, Mobile SMARTLane, and propose a heavy vehicles ban on ELITE and NKVE expressways to improve traffic safety.
