NETWORK SAFETY PLANNING
Improving Road Safety Guidance
Abley has worked with Austroads for more than 10 years.
Supporting Vision Zero
Most councils have Vision Zero ambitions, but few have a clear, evidence-based roadmap to achieve them.
Constrained budgets, legacy black-spot approaches, community expectations and diverse network environments make it difficult to prioritise interventions with confidence and deliver safer outcomes across the whole network.


A Proactive Approach
Traditional black-spot treatments react to past crashes. Network Safety Planning shifts councils toward proactive, evidence-based decision-making. By combining spatial data, risk assessment tools and Safe System principles, councils gain clear visibility of risk across their entire network. This helps to prioritise interventions, plan speed management and invest where they can deliver the greatest impact.
From black spot fixes to systems-wide safety
Designing safer, more accessible streets that protect vulnerable users and support equitable movement across every community.
Combining data, risk assessment and Safe System thinking to prioritise interventions that deliver measurable safety improvements.
Working alongside councils with practical expertise, clear guidance and evidence-driven support to achieve shared Vision Zero outcomes.
A system-wide approach enables agencies to reduce harm more effectively than traditional, reactive approaches.
A proven track record in developing industry guidance
Abley’s leadership in developing practical, evidence-based road safety guidance has set new standards for the industry, empowering agencies to make informed decisions that directly improve community safety. By bridging technical expertise with real-world challenges, Abley’s work continues to shape safer, more resilient transport networks across Australasia.
