This unit examines contemporary practice in the design and management of a safe and sustainable road system. It will build up your fundamental understanding of road hierarchy and a Safe Stem approach to road safety. You will learn how to use road design, parking management and emerging technologies to encourage sustainable travel (on-road public transport, walking and micromobility).
The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 3-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-9 hours of independent study per week.
