Australian Road Assessment Program - AusRAP

AusRAP is the Australian Road Assessment Program. It is used to identify, manage and improve the safety of road infrastructure and roadside features to systematically and proactively reduce road trauma. AusRAP rates the risks and safety performance of Australia’s roads and is based on the globally recognised International Road Assessment Program (iRAP).

AusRAP aims to improve road safety across Australia by assessing road conditions that influence crash risk and assigning safety star ratings. Roads are rated from 1-star (least safety features) to 5-star (most safety features) based on a broad range of road information, including current infrastructure (for example barriers, rumble strips), speed limits, traffic volume, road markings, roadside hazards, pedestrian crossings and cycling infrastructure.
