However there are processes in place which recognise the variable demands of road safety and which can influence shorter term asset management decision-making and expenditure priorities. 1.7.7.1 Continuous Safety Monitoring Safety related data is collected on an ongoing basis and appropriate measures implemented on a basis of as and when required; Authoritative crash information is sourced from CAS. As noted previously, the daily supply of data by Police has ceased. Data collected on a daily basis from media, NZTA contractors and the public provides a basic framework for early identification of significant issues. Attendance at fatal and serious crashes provides early information on the significant incidents A quarterly analysis of CAS data provides the basis for identifying possible issues or emergent trends; corrective action is undertaken as required, There is an inspection and audit regime involving Marlborough Roads, the Network Management Consultant and the Maintenance Contractors, There is a formal monthly meeting between road managers and the NZ Police on matters of road safety, enforcement and education, There is regular liaison with user groups such as AA, RTA, resident groups etc, The community provides regular feedback through ‘customer service’ links in Council, Marlborough Roads and suppliers, Customer Satisfaction Surveys are conducted at regular intervals, Road Safety issues are included in the monthly report to Marlborough Roads by the Network Management Consultant. 1.7.7.2 Asset Performance Longer term measures to assure safe performance of the asset include; Regular analysis of CAS data t. Corrective measures may be required, The skid resistance (friction) provided by the sealed surface on all Marlborough Roads which have a daily average traffic flow of over 500 vehicles per day is measured every two years and integrated into development of the resurfacing programme, Identification of a “Wet Crashes” issue is provided through a periodic study based on CAS data to assure that sites with sealed surfaces are performing satisfactorily under wet and frosty conditions. 1.7.7.3 Procedures and Standards Changes to standards and service delivery policies may affect priorities and expenditure; Marlborough Roads is a member of the stakeholder group which develops/reviews the Road Safety Action Plan at 6 monthly intervals. This group includes NZ Police, NZTA, Marlborough District Council, and ACC, Marlborough Roads is a member of the Central Traffic Management Liaison Group which keeps roading authorities informed of changes to law, traffic services, standards and procedures. 1.7.7.4 Crash Reduction Studies Crash reduction studies are undertaken at (generally) three yearly intervals; one will occur during the life of this Plan. As a general rule, any corrective / improvement measures arising from the Study are given a high priority in the Minor Safety programme. 30 September 2014 Page 149 of Section 1
