independently.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Star rating of a design, using the SR4D tool, or through other iRAP processes, can be performed by any suitably iRAP trained road safety practitioner. The design drawings together with other key project fundamentals such as expected traffic volumes and speed estimates can ensure the star rating of a design can be completed from the desk-top with local knowledge.\u00a0 Road safety auditors are well placed with the skills needed to star rate designs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Star Ratings are now being used by many agencies to ensure that safety is built-in to designs for upgrades and new roads prior to construction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-26295 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/irap.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/srdesign.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"545\" height=\"341\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; By providing a means of objectively measuring the impact on risk of various design iterations, the Star Rating design process helps to harness the potential of designers to find creative solutions to challenging safety problems.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; For governments and development banks, the process opens the opportunity to set performance-based targets for vehicle occupants, motorcyclists, pedestrians and bicyclists that not only improve safety but create a high level of transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The Star Rating design process has been successfully used in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Moldova, Qatar and India, in conjunction with existing mechanisms such as Road Safety Audits and highway design standards.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; iRAP has developed standard specifications to undertake a Star Rating of a Design that can be included in your project and a trusted network of trained Design Star Rating suppliers around the world is also available.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If you need help iRAP can assist in the direct planning and procurement for a star rating for designs assessment.<\/p>\n

the tender process raises the competitive bar among design teams.\u00a0 The open-ended \u2018or better\u2019 target invites designers to aspire to higher performance.\u00a0 A 4.5 star outcome can be given more weighting than a 3.5 star outcome for a very small percentage of the overall project costs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Project evaluation criteria can therefore include the safety performance of a road in addition to traditional criteria like cost, time and quality.\u00a0 The star ratings and associated estimate of life-time crash costs associated with each design can provide an objective, evidence based, global standard that can be used in evaluation criteria.\u00a0 Refer to our simple tables below as a template for action.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For example tenderers could be ranked by their performance across all of the criteria and\/or the costs of road trauma expected in their design could be included in the price evaluation.\u00a0 For example:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table
