Road Safety Star Ratings: Enhancing Road Safety Standards
Using the star ratings system, we conduct in-depth road safety audits to assess and enhance the safety levels of roadways, identifying areas requiring urgent attention.
The Star Ratings for Road Safety is a globally recognized system used to assess the safety performance of road infrastructure. This system assigns a "star" rating based on the safety features of a road, with five stars representing the highest safety standards and one star indicating poor safety performance. The rating is based on various road safety factors such as road design, traffic flow, signage, speed limits, and pedestrian facilities.
The Five-Star Rating System:
-
Five-Star Rating: Indicates excellent safety standards, with a well-designed road that minimizes risks for all road users. These roads typically have clear signage, adequate pedestrian facilities, well-marked lanes, and appropriate speed limits.
-
Four-Star Rating: A high level of safety, though there may be minor issues such as slight risks in certain areas, including poorly designed intersections or minor pedestrian hazards.
-
Three-Star Rating: Roads with a moderate level of safety. These roads may require improvements in specific areas like road surface conditions or pedestrian crossings.
-
Two-Star Rating: Roads with serious safety concerns, such as hazardous intersections, insufficient pedestrian facilities, or high-speed areas that contribute to accidents.
-
One-Star Rating: Indicates a road with significant safety issues, where urgent improvements are needed to reduce risks for all users, particularly in high-traffic zones or accident-prone areas.
Linking Star Ratings with SDGs
The Star Ratings for Road Safety are closely aligned with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially those focused on safety, sustainability, and health:
-
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being: By improving road safety through higher star ratings, we reduce traffic-related injuries and fatalities, promoting safer environments and better health outcomes for road users.
-
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure: Roads that score higher in the Star Ratings system represent advanced infrastructure designs that contribute to more sustainable and resilient transportation networks.
-
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities: Achieving higher star ratings directly contributes to creating safe, inclusive, and sustainable cities by addressing road safety in urban and rural areas.
-
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production: Road safety improvements lead to better use of resources in the transportation sector, as well as reducing accidents that result in the need for costly repairs, thus supporting more efficient and responsible infrastructure management.

Key Notes
Arbitration proceedings are conducted in private, rather than in court, and are heard by an arbitrator rather than a judge. Arbitration procedures are generally less formal, and there are no restrictions on who may represent parties in an arbitration.
Arbitration is a less formal procedure than court litigation, and it is conducted in private, away from the glare of the media and the public. Parties are free to appoint their own arbitrators and can choose more practical procedures and rules for the conduct of an arbitration. Arbitration awards are final and binding, and have extra-territorial enforceability in over 140 countries under the New York Convention. Generally, arbitration can also be more cost-efficient and speedier than court litigation.
Institutional arbitration proceedings are administered by an arbitration institution, such as the Kigali International Arbitration Centre (KIAC), Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA). Typically, these are conducted under the arbitration rules of each institution.
Ad hoc arbitrations are arranged solely between the arbitrator(s) and the parties. They may adopt a readymade set of arbitration rules (such as the UNCITRAL Rules of Arbitration) or, less frequently, may be conducted under rules drawn up by the parties.
