摘要

An In-Service Road Safety Audit (RSA) project was commissioned by the Ministry ofPublic Works (MPW) in Kuwait, which would be the first RSA to be completed inKuwait. The project was intended to serve as a demonstration project, highlighting theconcept and process of a road safety audit, in an attempt to illustrate the benefits of RSAsand how RSAs may improve the overall level of safety for the road users in Kuwait.For Kuwait’s inaugural RSA Project, a roadway known as Kabd Road wasselected. The roadway, which is perceived to be very dangerous and often referred to asthe ‘Death Road,’ is located south of the metropolitan area of the City of Kuwait. KabdRoad was considered to be an excellent project to demonstrate the RSA concept since theroadway has some design features that adversely impact the safety performance. Inaddition, the road appeared to be poorly maintained at some locations, which also createdsome significant safety hazards for motorists using the roadway. Poor driver behavior ofthe motorists using Kabd Road would also a contributing factor to the dangerousconditions that exist on the roadway.This paper describes the demonstration project, including the process that wasfollowed to implement an RSA in a region where RSA did not previously occur. Thepaper also provides some of the findings from the RSA.
