Summary of Betty’s Overall Professional Experience
I have over 35 years of road safety experience spanning from road design engineering, design assessment, traffic
management reviews, safe systems development and implementation, sustainable safe road design training,
community and stakeholders involvement in road safety, operational planning of road safety systems, safety
audits, safety reviews, quality audits, area/route studies (environmental assessment studies).
After her graduation I specialized in engineering design and consultancy. In my many assignments I gained an

countries, in the Middle East and in West and East Africa. I am currently employed as a specialist in
transportation and road design for Royal HaskoningDHV in an advisory role. I provide consultancy and training in
the field of (safe) road design, traffic safety and maintenance management of roads infrastructure. My areas of
work are projects in the Netherlands, in Central and Eastern Europe, in the Middle East and in English and
French speaking Africa.
My responsibilities concern complicated infrastructural projects, being part of or conducting teams consisting of
specialists, architects, planners and designers in fields as roads and structural design, water and environment,
financial and contract management. I advise clients and conduct training programs in contract preparation, safety

Betty’s Safe Systems Experience
I have extensive experience with development and implementation of safe systems (roads and highways). Some
recent examples are summarised below.
Date
Context of
Study
Details
2014
Safety and
Health Systems
Development
Coordinator Safety and Health, Contractor Van der Lee (NL) – To improve the processes of the
contractor in the safe conduct of road projects I put systems for stepwise control of the work. My
approach focuses on the safety of road users (traffic measures) as well as the safety and health of
workers in the work environment (on site). Finally, I verify and control the traffic management plans
and report my findings to the works’ operational manager
2014
Safe Road
Design
Assessment and
Consultancy
Ringroad Utrecht (NL): Highways A12, A27 and A28 Scheme Development – Within the design
team for the Utrecht Ringroad (a complex system of parallel and main roadways with various
connections and two nodes) I keep the attention focused on the road layout from the road user’s
perspective. In this politically sensitive project urban development constraints and limitations of the
right-of-way play an important role. It is my specific task to keep up the prominent position of safe
systems within the design development.
2014
Safe Systems
Development
Arriyadh Traffic Safety Strategy Review, Saudi Arabia – In a team of specialists from Royal
HaskoningDHV I provide advice for the structural improvement of processes for transport safe and
sustainable road design and structural improvement of the emergency services (ambulance services)
related to road accidents.
2012-
2014
Safe Systems
Counselling
Roads & Maritime Transportation Dept, MoW (NL) - I support Department Regional Services in the
North and South Holland offices with advice on the applied safe systems principles for various
highway schemes in the planning stage. I collaborate with the design team, providing at hand road
safety advice and assessment of draft design solutions in the preliminary and final design stages.
2010
Road Safety
Audit Guidelines
Regulations for the Road Safety Audit (NL) - In a team of safety experts representing the Roads &
Maritime Transportation Department, the foundation for Scientific Research of Road Safety (SWOV)
and DHV, I contribute to the preparation of an implementation plan for the Road Safety Audit on the
Dutch national road network. This plan contains rules for the selection of auditors and for future audits.
The rules are in accordance with the European Directive on Road Safety Road infrastructure
(November 2008). My work requires experience and knowledge of safe systems, sustainable safe
road design and construction within the policies of the Department as well as applicable procedures
(Sustainable Safety, Golden Rules for Road Users). This Dutch Road Safety Audit Regulations
document is comparable to the British HD19/15.
2010
Applied Safe
Systems
Principles in
Road Design
Arriyadh Development Authority, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In a team of traffic engineering designers
and urban development architects I contribute with my expertise in road design and road safety to a
plan for the rehabilitation of Dirab Road (four-lane access road, 13.7 km long for Arriyadh, 5 million
inhabitants). As a team, in close cooperation with the Client we develop design solutions for this
motorway, integrated urban development and intensive land use for commercial, residential and non-
residential purposes (in collaboration KuiperCompagnons)
2009 -
2010
Applied Safe
Systems
Principles in
Road Design
Emergency Highway Extension Schemes (NL) - The Emergency Act is convoked by the Minister of
Infrastructure and Environment to improve traffic flows on the national highway network. I am
specifically responsible for assessing the design of sustainable safety aspects. All reviewed projects
are in the planning study phase and are currently largely implemented and in use.
2005 -
2006
Safe Systems
Development
Technical Assistance to the Mwanza City Council (Tanzania) for Sustainable Road Safety
Capacity - My task is to draw up an operational plan to integrate the concept of road safety and to
promote safe systems in all relevant activities of the City Council. Included in the plan are measures
such as speed limits, signing and marking, increasing the knowledge and the interest of decision
makers by developing and implementing demonstration projects. In addition, I organize workshops
and training sessions with the aim of setting up an organization to improve cooperation between local
authorities, the Ministry of Public Works and road authorities.
