Barricades.

Flagmen
The control of traffic through

IDENTIFICATION OF SAFETY PROBLEMS
This includes two parts:
(1) Field survey
The survey items cover all related conditions. The surveyors need to use their field
experience to judge the potential safety problems associated with the existing
conditions.
(2) Collect data (such as traffic data) and analyze the data.
The main purpose of data analysis is to give certain adjustment to the first part. With
the qualitative judgment (from the first part) and the quantitative judgment (from the
second part), the survey could produce better identification of safety problems.
Based on these surveys the Safety Problems are ranked, and Safety Index is
decided.
