Vulnerable Road User Audit


The intention is to identify any potential safety issues for vulnerable road users, as well as assessing overall convenience, comfort and accessibility. A VRUA should point out problems and suggest ways they can be removed, or improved. 

Further, a VRUA should ensure that a holistic approach is taken to highway network design, allowing all users to navigate it safely, and to increase VRU usage of the highway network.

A vulnerable road user audit has been a statutory requirement since 2004.
