Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
One of the undesirable features of road transport is its poor record of road safety. Majority of accidents are due to over speed of vehicles irrespective of speed limits in urban areas. Road accidents cause heavy loss to the families of people met with accidents, charges incurred in hospitalization and treatment and damages to vehicles and property. So it is necessary to improve road safety and transport facilities to tackle the vehicle mobility problems in our country. Engineers who specialized or specializing in Transportation Engineering have to endeavour a lot to solve the traffic congestion problem all over the world where in India is also not exceptional. Faulty traffic signalling systems, inadequate, narrow road spaces and overtaking tendency of drivers create pro-longed traffic congestion. Currently, this study introspects the importance of road safety and preparation of safety audit in Indian scenario taking Tiruchirappalli as the study area. In order to study road accidents and road infrastructure in five routes namely 1.Williams Road 2.EVR Puttur Road 3.Convent Road 4.Bishop road 5.Victoria road.
