Zambia’s strategically important roads being assessed<\/em><\/p>\n

A Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA)<\/a>, supported by Engenharia FRED<\/a>, has commenced an iRAP assessment of 2,660km of strategically important roads in Zambia.<\/p>\n

Whilst 34 schools have been assessed using the Avalia\u00e7\u00e3o por Estrelas para Escolas<\/a> Methodology, this marks the first iRAP assessment of the country\u2019s road network.<\/p>\n

The project will provide safety Star Ratings for vehicle occupants, pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists, as well as Safer Road Investment Plans recommending and prioritising safety engineering measures to lift road safety to the global 3-star or better standard.<\/p>\n

The FRED Engineering team kicked off the project last week online with the first of three introductory workshops to build local knowledge and skills in the iRAP methodology. An overview of the performed surveys was shared, and the project scope, timeline, and next steps were discussed.<\/p>\n

Daniel Lopez, Senior Road Safety Engineer and Data Scientist with FRED Engineering said, \u201cA decrease of approximately 34 per cent on the number of annual fatalities could be achieved by ensuring that most of travel in Zambia is performed on 3-star roads\u201d.<\/p>\n

A Acreditado pela iRAP<\/a> FRED team has undertaken nearly 18,000km of iRAP assessments in multiple countries.<\/p>\n

De acordo com iRAP Safety Insights Explorer<\/a>, achieving UN Target 4 for more than 75% of travel to be on 3-star or better roads by 2030, stands to save 1,130 lives and nearly 398,000 lives and injuries each year in Zambia with an economic benefit of $326.6 million, a benefit of $3.20 for every 1 spent.<\/p>\n
