The core objective of the Safety Engineering Team is to contribute to casualty reduction on the roads of Essex through analysing collision data to identify specific locations of high risk and then implement engineering solutions. The team undertakes the following key activities in order to achieve this objective:
 
  • Collision Investigation, leading to the development of an annual programme of Casualty Reduction Schemes.
  • Undertaking Road Safety Audits for new highway works.
  • Monitoring the effectiveness of road safety interventions.
  • Contributing to the production of new or revised policies affecting road safety.
  • Detailed investigation of all fatal collisions that occur in Essex.
