Abstract
The road safety assessment in Pibulsongkram Rajabhat University aims to analyze the contributing factors of accidents to staff students and the general public traveling on the road network of the university. The areas of this study consist of three gates and sixth point where data collection of each point is needed to be comparative on the accident statistic between road accidents occur and no road accident occur. The result of study on the traffic volume was maximum on gate no. two as 11,983 units/day or 5,522 PCU/day. The vehicle speed found that the average vehicles speed were about 33.03 kilometer per hour (km/h) on horizontal curve and 37.01 km/h on road section where this average vehicle speed is higher than the vehicle speed limit safety standard about 30 km/h for community. The Road Safety Audit result was found that the horizontal curves around the campus and the road in front of the library were risks according to the RSA, sight distance, traffic sign and making, traffic light leading to the road accident in existing road area. The implement of this study is the prototype of speed table in Pibulsongkram Rajabhat University for further enhance the safety of the road network
