Engineering
We will employ our specialist knowledge and skills to maximise our resources for the benefit of Lincolnshire’s road users; we will seek, through an evidenced approach, to eradicate repeat accident locations and to proactively design-in safe road systems
Engineering Objectives
- Identify and implement an annual programme of engineering safety schemes as funding allows.
- Complete safety audits on all modifications to the highway network in accordance with LCC policy. Safety Audit recommendations create a safer highway network for people to travel.
- Maintain and validate a joint collision database providing an evidence based approach to analysing and developing road safety initiatives.
- Identify through “wet skidding” collisions, sites where surface friction may be deteriorating to enable remedial measures to be implemented quicker than identified by routine maintenance inspections.
- Identify hazards on popular motorcycle routes using “motorcycle friendly” signage including the installation of the regional “Shiny Side Up” awareness campaign during the motorcycle season.
- Work with police forensic collision investigation team to promote / recommend highway improvements identified from fatal collision investigations.
