Services
Gateway TSP offer cost effective, comprehensive road safety engineering consultancy advice, including road safety audit, accident investigation/ prevention (AIP) studies, road safety research and risk assessments. We also provide non-motorized user audits and design services for local safety schemes, including traffic calming measures. We are proud of our highly professional yet personal service.
About
Gateway TSP was formed by Steve Giles in 2009 in response to a rapidly growing demand for independent road safety auditing, primarily from transport planning and highway engineering consultancies operating within the property development sector.
Projects
Gateway TSP undertakes more than 100 road safety audits and other highway safety related studies each year. Our road safety audits are conducted in accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB), Highways Directive (HD)19/15 or Transport for London (TfL) document SQA-0170 and can be adapted to other local standards. Each project we undertake, whether it be a road safety audit or a bespoke safety study, is underpinned by our extensive knowledge of national/local guidance, design standards and codes of practice.
