From the data survey, the data were analysed using statistical tool to obtain multiply factor and Road Safety Assessment Tool (RSAT) were then developed to check level of safety for road design project based on the constant resulted from analysis.The RSAT gave recommendation base on the Level of Safety where result score more then 80% will recommend that the design road project can be proceeded and below than 80% is recommended to design reviewdue to unsafe or potential hazard to road user.
