Highway Safety Impact Assessment in London
Highway Safety Impact Assessments are requested by Local Authorities in London to provide a high-level assessment in regard to transport and highway safety implications of a proposed development. Highway Safety Impact Assessments aim to provide the Local Authority with an overview of the transport and highways aspects of a proposed development such as accessibility, public transport accessibility, cycle parking, car parking, delivery and servicing, etc. Our Highway Safety Impact Assessments aim to identify and address potential issues and secure mitigation measures for all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.

Highway safety is paramount to us, which is demonstrated in the documents and services we offer. Our assessments typically consider public transport accessibility, pedestrian and vehicular accesses, cycle parking, car parking, delivery and servicing, construction logistics and can be affected by a variety of factors such as traffic generation, traffic flow, highway design, traffic management, lighting, etc, which could impact overall highway safety.

The Importance of Highway Safety Impact Assessment
Highway Safety Impact Assessments play a crucial role in the planning process and ensure that development proposals and projects have fully assessed the associated transport and highway impacts. Highway Safety Impact Assessments also allow Local Authorities to adequately mitigate any negative traffic/highway impacts which may arise because of the development proposal.
