WST-1301 Critical Thinking in Road Safety — Questioning What We Think We Know is designed for practitioners across all road safety disciplines who want to examine the reasoning behind their practice. The course addresses a problem common to both engineering and behavioural road safety: that standard treatments and interventions are routinely applied on the basis of convention, correlation, and professional habit, without rigorous examination of the causal evidence underlying them.

Current best practice is not permanent truth — it is the best available answer at this point in time. Practices considered sound today may prove inadequate within a generation. This course develops the habits of mind to recognise that sooner rather than later. Participants learn to examine causal chains explicitly, challenge assumptions in their own and others’ practice, and reason from evidence to conclusion with greater rigour.

The course is deliberately designed to bridge the engineering and behavioural road safety fields, which frequently operate in isolation from each other. Neither field produces best-practice outcomes working independently of the other.

Target audience: road safety practitioners across all disciplines, including road safety auditors, traffic and transport engineers, road safety officers, planners, asset managers, project managers, and behavioural road safety practitioners. There is no RSA requirement. The course applies to any professional whose work involves making or relying on road safety judgements. 5 hours

“Does the system fit the user?”

This question sits above everything else in this course. Above compliance with standards, above budget constraints, above implementation convenience, above current traffic counts, above professional preferences. If your treatment doesn’t fit the users — it will fail.

This course develops competency in selecting, evaluating, justifying, and monitoring road safety interventions that fit users — everyone, everywhere, all the time, over the long term.
