Transport for London

Many local authorities use the Standard together with the IHT Guidelines as a basis for carrying out their Road Safety Audits. However, some authorities have developed their own Road Safety Audit procedures to reflect local conditions and more specifically geared to their own particular needs.

Transport for London (TfL) has procedures for carrying out Road Safety Audits in the capital (TfL, 2014). These procedures are intended for use on the TfL Road Network (TLRN) but are also commended to the London boroughs for use on their own roads. The TfL procedures are very similar to the HA standard, but allow for issues beyond the scope of the Safety Audit to be included in the Road Safety Audit report, and allow night-time visits on Stage 3 Road Safety Audits to be postponed in certain circumstances. 

Some local authorities have difficulties with the night-time visits due to issues of health and safety or related to overtime payments. The need for night-time visits at all Stage 3 Road Safety Audits is clearly stated in the Road Safety Audit standard. If a local authority does not undertake night-time visits on all schemes, it should describe the policy in a published Road Safety Audit procedure (see the references to the Transport for London, Hampshire County Council and Devon County Council procedures in Chapter 2).

Ten minutes from the ferry station Haukelid and Larsen left the car to ski to Kongsberg, forty miles away around the lake, where they would catch a train for the first leg of their escape to Sweden. Sdrlie carried a report for London to the clandestine radio. The driver returned the stolen car and he and the Rjukan man strolled home. At Haukelid s suggestion the Norsk Hydro transport engineer had arranged a foolproof alibi over the weekend doctors at the local hospital operated on him for appendicitis, no questions asked.

The first demonstration-type buses having a fuel cell power plant were introduced toward the end of the twentieth eentury. In London, such buses started to operate in suburban eommuter transit soon after 2000. During 2001-2006, a program of the European Commission ealled Clean Urban Transport for Europe was run involving regular use of 27 fuel eell-powered buses in nine European cities. The success aehieved by this initiative led to the introduction of this type of bus transport in other eities of Europe, Asia, and North and South America.
