What is ISO 20602?
ISO 20602:2020 – Road Traffic Safety (RTS) — Guidelines for Road Safety Audits is a globally recognized standard that outlines best practices for conducting road safety audits (RSAs) at different project stages, such as planning, design, construction, and operation.
The standard emphasizes a systematic approach to identifying and mitigating potential road safety risks before road projects are built or modified. It can be applied by government agencies, private contractors and road designers seeking to improve road user safety and reduce accident risks.
Why is ISO 20602 important?
Increased road traffic incidents, stricter government regulations, and rising expectations around public safety have made ISO 20602:2020 a critical compliance and quality assurance tool for infrastructure and transport development projects.
Choosing ISO 20602:2020 certification ensures your organization:
- Aligns with international best practices for road safety audits
- Improves safety outcomes through a structured audit process
- Minimizes design-related risks before infrastructure implementation
- Builds stakeholder confidence and credibility
- Meets compliance with national and international transportation policies
This certification signals that your organization takes proactive responsibility for road safety and infrastructure reliability.
