As well as safe driving, one of the key factors in accident prevention is ensuring that the road is in a safe condition and of a layout that minimises any potential hazards such as sharp bends and dangerous junctions. Careful planning of new roads can help prevent against car crashes and the need for road accident claims.
When constructing new roads, each road authority is legally obliged to take measures to reduce the possibility of accidents when the road is opened. All major road developments are safety audited by experienced Accident Investigation and Prevention (AIP) engineers.
The audit process is a rigorous and systematic procedure which examines road safety for all road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. The aim is to ensure that by applying practical road safety experience during the development process the number of hazardous areas of road will be reduced. This in turn will help reduce the possibility of a car accidents and the need for making a car crash claim.
All new roads which are constructed by organisations outside of the local council have to obtain approval from the council which takes the form of "construction consent". This legal document ensures that roads built by outside developers are constructed to be in concordance with the council's Roads Development Guide which includes various safety criteria that must be met.
Accident reduction measures are also applied to existing roads where car accidents have already occurred. After a serious car crash, an investigation into the cause of the crash will take place to determine if any measures could be put in place to prevent future accidents in that location.
The AIP carry out studies of road accidents, looking at where clusters of accidents are occurring followed by identification of any trends which may link these crashes. The AIP can then implement method which can reduce the risk of similar crashes in the future.
If you have been in a car accident which you believe was the fault of a third party, you could be eligible to make a compensation claim.
