Road network expansion, increased motorization and urbanization in the country have been accompanied by a surge in road crashes leading to road injuries and fatalities. Today, road traffic injuries top the list of leading causes of death. Road Safety Audit was established in order to prevent such road traffic incidents. This is a formal process where an independent and qualified audit team examines and reports on road crash potential and safety performance of a future road project or a traffic management scheme on an existing road. RSA has the greatest potential for improving safety and is the most cost-effective when it is applied to a road or traffic design before the project is built. It is in this context that Training Course on Road Safety Audit was offered by UP-NCTS, which has a pool of experts in the field of transportation planning and traffic engineering and management. This course will use existing course materials and resources to maximize the hands-on experience and ensure internalization as well as retention of the concepts being presented.
Generally, the training gives an overview of the principles and fundamentals of road safety, statistics/trends, causes and factors of crashes, road safety audit concepts, accident analysis and various road safety facilities. The basics of geometric design of highway sections and their applications together with intersection design elements are also presented.
The table illustrates the number of graduates from 2010-2022.

The training gives an overview of the necessity to evaluate the significance of traffic-related impacts before the implementation of a proposed development. The Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) process allows these future impacts to be planned for and mitigated. TIA is now being required by some local government and national agencies for some developments before its approval. This training will give an overview of the TIA process and discuss the contents of a TIA report.

Generally, road traffic causes significant dangers to people working on the roads. On the other hand, roadworks can put other road users in a dangerous situation. It is in this context that the Department of Public Works and Highways developed the Road Works Safety Manual for use throughout the Philippines. This manual shall be used at roadwork and bridgework sites when providing signage and traffic management to warn, guide and control traffic. The principles in the manual aim to maximize the safety of workers and the public during roadworks.
The UP National Center for Transportation Studies in cooperation with the Department of Public Works and Highways offered this Road Works Safety (RWS) Course to provide a uniform approach to worksite traffic management through the use of standard signs and layouts that can be applied to most road work situations.
