Road Safety Audit Report

The document contains observations from an audit of a road project, noting safety issues at several locations along the roadway. Issues included construction machinery left near the road, poor retroreflectivity of chevron signs, unauthorized commercial signage, and concerns with multiple median openings located close together including a need to justify their necessity. Recommendations included ensuring machinery is removed from near the road, replacing signs to meet retroreflectivity standards, relocating commercial signs, and addressing the median openings through closure of some or improved signage and markings.
