Street Audit Checklist

Street Audit Checklist

Cities have a lot of staff, elected officials, and volunteers who drive their streets getting from
point A to point B. Typically, drivers are just focused on getting to their destination, but drivers
are a huge untapped resource that can help your engineering team! Ten minutes of training
and every employee of the city could be performing traffic audits for you. Here are the top 10
things you should have them looking for (basically, everyone knows what is normal and when
something stands out as not being quite right):

1. Trees blocking signs or hanging down onto walking paths/sidewalks

2. Signs that should be replaced because they are faded or beat up

3. Things on corners that block motorists views – hedges, trees, landscaping walls, sign, etc.

4. Burnt out traffic signal indications

5. Street lights – burnt out bulbs, on during the day, off at night, etc.

6. Traffic backing up between intersections or spilling out of turn lanes

7. Bad potholes or bumpy roads

8. People illegally running stop signs or signals

9. A road where everyone is speeding

10. Detours or construction zones that are wrong
