道路安全檢查制度導入研究(1/2)—建構道路安全檢查工具(114綠)

「道路安全檢核Road Safety Audit -RSA」是指在道路建設專案規劃設計及通車前後，檢視其設計文件，針對安全議題，由獨立的檢核師所執行的一個正式的安全檢核程序。一般包括可行性研究、基本設計、細部設計到通車前的檢核，亦有針對現有道路進行檢核；有些國家將現有道路的安全檢查，區分開來稱為「道路安全檢查Road Safety Inspection -RSI」。此一道路安全檢查(RSI)是，針對既有道路，進行的一種系統性的現場檢查作業；由道路安全專家執行，辨識出可能導致嚴重事故的道路設施或道路安全缺陷。兩者同樣強調須由獨立檢查員或檢核員為之，並有一套完整詳細的程序，其目的主要是發現新建道路與既有道路的可能安全缺失、設施損壞，並及時加以更正，以避免導致事故發生，或降低事故發生的嚴重性。
我國依據新修訂之公路法及新訂之道路交通安全基本法，皆訂有針對公路及道路進行安全檢核的要求。故而，本計畫旨在依據我國道路環境特性，參考各國道路安全檢核的發展經驗，研提我國道路安全檢核制度發展架構；同時基於此道路安全檢核制度發展架構，參酌國外對於現有道路安全檢查表內容，參考國內的道路環境及交通事故特性，研擬我國針對現有道路進行道路安全檢查之道路安全檢查表。其成果可供交通部、所屬交通管理單位，與各地方政府交通管理單位等參考，以便運用於既有道路的道路工程與交通工程的檢查與改善工作，來創造安全的交通環境。

A Road Safety Audit (RSA) is defined as a formal procedure conducted during the project plan and design stage before any construction has started, screening the designs on paper for any safety issues. This is a formal process best conducted by an independent auditor. Conversely, a Road Safety Inspection (RSI) is a distinct review process for exiting roads, involving a systematic on-site assessment through driving and walking to identify hazardous conditions, defects, and deficiencies that may lead to serious accidents. Both RSA and RSI emphasize the necessity of independent inspectors or auditors and adhere to comprehensive procedure, with the primary objective of identifying and rectifying potential safety deficiencies or infrastructure damages in both new and existing roads to mitigate accidents or reduce the severity causing by them.
In accordance with emendation to the Highway Law and newly promulgated Road Traffic Safety Law in Taiwan, the establishment of RSA and RSI systems is mandated. This project aims to develop a framework for the developmentation of the Road Safety Audit (RSA) system tailored to the specific characteristics of Taiwan’s road environment drawing upon the developmetal experiences of road safety audits in other nations. Furthermore, based on this framework and informed by road safety inspection checklists from international sources, a customized Road Safety Inspection (RSI) checklist will be developed for Taiwan. These deliverables will serve as resources for the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, its affiliated traffic management agencies, and local government traffic management units, facilitating the inspection and enhancement of road and traffic engineering on existing roads to ensure a seamless and secure traffic environment for all road users.
