Star Rating for Designs (SR4D<\/a>) is a process and evidence-based programme of applications informed by the iRAP Methodology<\/a> which enable the objective measure, and improvement, of the level of road safety \u2018built in\u2019 to a road design for vehicle occupants, motorcyclists, pedestrians and cyclists, before the commencement of civil works.<\/strong><\/p>\n SR4D enables road engineers and designers, municipalities and road authorities, funding agencies and governments to make roads safer.<\/p>\n Ensuring the safety of a road design before it clears the design phase directly equates to lives and serious injuries saved on the street. Despite knowledge and free tools to improve design safety, unsafe 1- and 2-star roads are still being built.<\/p>\n SR4D strengthens the road safety audit process, complementing it with an objective and repeatable qualification of road user risk (without the need for a high level of experience), and supports the wider potential of Star Ratings<\/a> as a safety performance metric and maximised safety in road infrastructure investment.<\/p>\n SR4D will be essential to supporting countries to achieve the United Nations Global Road Safety Performance Targets<\/a>, especially Target 3<\/a> to ensure all new roads are built to a 3-star or better standard for all road users.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#35809f” divider_weight=”2px” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”5px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Innovative enhancements to iRAP\u2019s Star Rating for Designs (SR4D) web app, allowing the safety of road designs to measured before the commencement of civil works, have been unveiled at the IRF World Congress in Istanbul (October 2024).<\/p>\n The safety of nearly 58,000 kilometres of road designs in 63 countries have already been assessed and improved with the use of SR4D, and the latest enhancements \u00a0make usability even better for road designers worldwide.<\/p>\n The new enhancement further improve the integrity of road safety assessments in meeting the 3-star or better global standard and UN Target 3 for new roads by:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/irap.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IRAP-Enhanced-SR4D-flyer_Page_1.jpg” title_text=”IRAP Enhanced SR4D flyer_Page_1″ url=”https:\/\/resources.irap.org\/Star_Rating_for_Designs\/iRAP_Enhanced_SR4D_flyer.pdf” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nNew Enhancements announced<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
