India. Abstract-The Road Safety will identify potential road safety issues or problems that may affect all users of the highway and to recommend measures to eliminate or mitigate these problems. A Road Safety Audit is not simply a check that a scheme meets design standards. This paper discusses the identified safety issues, accident data analysis and proposed measures to address the safety issues Surveys have been conducted for a safety issue analysis for the project corridor based on accident information collected from the police department, site analysis etc.. The surveys have been conducted at site visit to identify safety issues and potential safety issues. Key words- Road safety, accident, intersections, speed, vehicle I. INTRODUCTION It has been observed that driving on the wrong side is a more prominent and common problem on the project road. This is a major issue which could result in more severe accidents. Such unexpected traffic situations on the road result in avoidable accidents. The overloading of vehicles is another problem on the project road and results in the poor visibility for the traffic. This would not only obstruct the visibility but also reduce the lane width available for vehicles overtaking and affect the level of service on the project road. There are many access points on to the project road and there is no control over the traffic entering the project corridor. Most of the intersections are uncontrolled and those in the urban areas are controlled through fixed time traffic signals or by police in the peak periods. There are a number of settlements along the project road. Though the share of pedestrian involved accidents is low but the interference with traffic is considerable. Such interference will also affect the smooth flow of traffic and may sometimes lead to accidents often fatal. II. ISSUES RELATED TO SAFTEY There is no access control – the road has far too many access points. The road mixes short distance and long distance traffic so there are many movements which are incompatible with the high speed long distance facility this road is supposed to provide. The main junctions have poor advance signing. Little thought has been given in villages and towns crossed as to how the local population crosses the main National Highway. There is no existing highway traffic management system. There is no provision made to counter/ address the head light glare. This problem is more pronounced in the night time. The Road Safety will identify potential road safety issues or problems that may affect all users of the highway and to recommend measures to eliminate or mitigate these problems.
