This should be carried out in accordance with DMURS and best international practice. 11.228 The DMURS Quality Audits consist of a number of individual and overlapping audits that may include: 1. An audit of visual quality; a review of how the street is/may be used by the community. 2. A road safety audit, including a risk assessment. 3. An access audit. 4. A walking audit. 5. A cycle audit. 6. A non-motorised user audit. 7. A community street audit (in existing streets) and a place check audit. 8. A street design audit must be submitted as a component of a Quality Audit (for larger projects) or as a stand-alone audit process for smaller projects with an emphasis on placemaking and promoting the multidisciplinary aspects of successful street design. Other Design Audits Other Individual Audits will generally focus on particular aspect of the design or the likely experience of a particular user group.
