Dear E Goodway

TfL Ref: FOI-3094-1819

Thank you for your request received on 13 February 2019 asking for
information about Road Safety Audits (RSA).

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. You
asked:

Please would you provide Stage 4 Road Safety Audits for the schemes at:

a) the Elephant & Castle

b) St George's Circus including Westminster Bridge Road and all other
roads affected, and confirm whether signage is included in Road Safety
Audit procedures.

We have not yet completed a Stage 4 RSA on the Elephant & Castle scheme
because we do not have a full 36 months accident data available from the
Metropolitan Police.

 

We have also not yet completed a Stage 4  RSA for St George’s Circus /
Westminster Bridge Road but I can confirm that signage is included within
the RSA process.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal.

Dear FOI,

Have the Stage 4 Road Safety Audits I requested now been issued? I would appreciate receiving them without further delay.

It is 45 months since the Elephant & Castle Scheme opened and more for St George's Circus. The Government issued Design Manual for Roads and Bridges GG119 Road Safety Audit 2019 states that:

'Stage 4 RSA shall be carried out using 12 months of validated post highway scheme-opening road
traffic collision data'

Yours sincerely,

Dear E Goodway,

 

Our ref: FOI-1699-1920

 

Thank you for your request received on 4 September 2019 asking for
information about road safety audits.

 

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act and our Information Access Policy. I can
confirm we do not hold the information you requested. You asked:

 

Have the Stage 4 Road Safety Audits I requested now been issued? It is 45
months since the Elephant & Castle Scheme opened and more for St George's
Circus. The Government issued Design Manual for Roads and Bridges GG119
Road Safety Audit 2019 states that:

'Stage 4 RSA shall be carried out using 12 months of validated post
highway scheme-opening road traffic collision data'

 

TfL conducts road safety audits to the terms of reference in its road
safety audit procedure SQA-0170, we do not undertake Audits to Design
Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) GG-119. The SQA-0170 outlines that:

 

Stage 4 RSAs are not routinely undertaken on TfL internally promoted
schemes. TfL monitors the performance of highway engineering schemes
through the Traffic Accident Diary System (TADS). Where TADS identifies
and emerging collision problem, the Client Organisation should commission
a Stage 4 RSA.

 

Both Elephant and Castle and St George’s Circus are in the TADS system and
are being monitored, but RSA4s have not yet been completed for either
scheme. We have, however, commissioned these now that 36 months of
accident data is available and we anticipate that these will be completed
by the end of the year.  

 

If this is not the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate
to contact me.

 

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal.

Yours sincerely,

Dear E Goodway

 

TfL Ref: FOI-3317-1920

 

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 29
January 2020 asking for information about Road Safety Audits.

 

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act and our Information Access Policy. You
asked:

 

As you anticipated the Stage 4 Road Safety Audits for the Elephant &
Castle and St George's Circus being completed by now, may I please have
copies.

 

At present, we do not hold the information you requested. When we
responded to your previous request we advised that we were about to
commission Stage 4 Road Safety Audits (RSA4) for Elephant & Castle and St
George's Circus. However, it transpired that the Police had not released
the 2019 data that we needed to complete the full three years’ audits.

 

We now have that data and will commission the RSA4 for both Elephant &
Castle and St George's Circus. Once it is complete and signed off we will
publish the report, which is likely to be by the end of April.

 

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal.
