Getting started

• Ensure key stakeholders understand the importance of monitoring, analysis and evaluation. This should include an understanding of potential risks if these activities are not undertaken.
• Establish processes for the collection of relevant data at the start of any planned activities. This collection could be undertaken as part of a corridor demonstration project.
• Train key road agency staff and stakeholders in evaluation methods and data management. This should include an understanding of robust methods used in analysis.
• Track performance against road safety targets using these agreed methods.

Making progress

• Increase awareness amongst key stakeholders about the importance of monitoring, analysis and evaluation.
• Collect relevant data, particularly on high-volume, high risk parts of the road network at locations where interventions are made as the minimum. Extend this to all parts of the road network including national, regional and local roads.
• Adopt or develop tools to help in the monitoring and evaluation process.
• Continue to build expertise amongst road agency staff and stakeholders on evaluation methods.
• Publish results so that others can access this information, and support for effective interventions can be built.
• Track performance against road safety targets, including through linkage between intermediate and outcome measures. Use this knowledge to improve processes including the types of interventions selected.

Consolidating activity

• Continue to increase awareness amongst key stakeholders about the importance of monitoring and evaluation.
• Collect relevant monitoring data on all parts of the road network, including at locations beyond where interventions were made to provide the necessary data to facilitate appropriate before-after evaluations of interventions.
• Internationally benchmark tools and approaches to help in the monitoring and evaluation process.
• Continue to build expertise amongst road agency staff and stakeholders on evaluation methods.
• Continue to track performance against road safety targets, including through linkage between intermediate and outcome measures. Inform stakeholders about progress against targets, including information on effective road safety treatments. This information should be directed to internal stakeholders, politicians, external stakeholders, and members of the public.
• Internationally benchmark this performance against the worlds’ best road safety nations and use this knowledge to help improve processes.
