Results of the analysis of regulatory and guidance documents for the organization of traffic related issues optimization speeding traffic flows, use of humps, designing roundabouts at one level, to control access to the city streets and roads, traffic signalization and pedestrian traffic flows on regulated intersections, crossings, applying the method of organizing the movement "living area", using dynamic routing of traffic flows, traffic management and pedestrian traffic flow in the area of ground pedestrian crossings and stopping points passenger shuttle transport, traffic management in the area of railway crossings.
At my university, Chalmers University of Technology, in Gothenburg, Sweden, there is a competence centre run by academia, automotive industry and public authorities together - with precisely the purpose to provide better vehicle and traffic safety. There is too much to see and read to discuss briefly here, so go to the home page http://www.chalmers.se/safer and have a look. If there is something particular that you don't find, I can perhaps find you a contact person.
Thank you very much Michael. I think that your university is perfect for the beginning of my search.
Uk highways agency have a road safety audit before construction during construction and after construction of a scheme
http://www.dft.gov.uk/ha/standards/dmrb/vol5/section2/hd1903.pdf
The Australian approach to safe systems design is covered here
This includes the staged safety audit approach, which is very similar to the one developed in the UK
http://www.austroads.com.au/safety
ditto: https://www.onlinepublications.austroads.com.au/items/AGRS07-06 his report introduces the concepts of risk assessment and risk management in the road safety network context. The joint Australia and New Zealand Standard on risk management (AS/NZS 4360:2004) is used as the basis and structure for this document. The issues of communication and consultation, establishing the context, identifying risks, analysing risks, evaluating risks, treating risks, and monitoring and review are discussed. Examples of risk in the road safety context are provided, including those relating to road trauma, legal risk, and risk from adverse public opinion. Case studies are provided to assist practitioners in the assessment and management of risks on their networks.
You might find the safe system approach developed in the Netherlands informative. Essentially, this approach derives road properties depending on the function (and thus the amount and types of trafffic) of the road.You can find relevant publications at the SWOV-website (www.SWOV.nl):
