“Road Safety Audit: Challenges And Remedies”
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The Road Safety Audit (RSA) is a technique to investigate the road crashes potential and safety performance in the provision of new road planning’s, rehabilitation, improvements and maintenance in existing road network. This investigates the road infrastructure deficiencies that may influence crashes occurrence and suggests the guidelines for appropriate improvement measures. The present study aimed to evaluate the Road Safety deficiencies and improvements on existing road network. NH-12 ((Durgapura Bus Stand to India Gate) (total length= 10.500Km)), for present study the accident data were collected at identified road stretch and black spots namely India Gate, Haldighati Marg and Pinjrapole Goshala were indentified. The road safety deficiencies such as improper intersection designing’s width of carriage way low maintenance of road markings, road sign, unauthorized median openings, unavailability of Bus-Stops, confusing behavior of Pedestrian etc., were oberserved at identified location. It was found that the public transport system including mini bus and low floor bus shared a major part of carriageway width and creating the traffic hazards to the other fast moving vehicles. Further, Improper vehicle tuning movements and unauthorized median openings at road intersections, were also responsible for accidental crash.
