As a consequence of increasing traffic volume and mobility, road accidents have been a serious problem especially in low and middle-income countries. The number of road accidents in such countries tends to increase every year. Considering different contributing factors to the road accidents, road and its environment have played an important role. Road safety audits and road safety inspections have been worldwide used tools to monitor and to evaluate road projects and existing road sections from the safety perspective. In this study, through the evaluation of different safety auditing techniques applied in the world, a case study on a Nigerian Road Section has been implemented. The expectations from such a study are: (i) To show the main safety deficiencies of the Nigerian road sections; and (ii) To introduce a new tool to the local road authorities to further use it for monitoring their road sections. Based on this study, the audit report was prepared to summarize findings with possible countermeasures.

Sample Case

Road safety is a global crisis and one of the proactive preventive measures for accidents is the Road Safety Audit (RSA). The benefits of RSA are numerous. RSAs have been practiced in many countries following the guidelines of their own. The objective of this study was to compare the contents of the guidelines of selected seven (07) countries. The documents were reviewed and compared in terms of seven (07) critical parameters. The definition of the term “RSA” varied among guidelines. The RSA process was required for different stages of a project in different countries. The attached check lists or forms also varied in terms of contents and in terms of the coverage. The qualifications of auditors or team requirements were unequally emphasized in the documents. The legal liability aspects were not given any emphasis in three of the seven guideline documents. Two country documents did not contain any sample RSA report or any sample case study. Some country documents have good emphasis on some parameters while those lack in other aspects. No RSA guideline document can be called as the best one, as those were prepared considering the local conditions and requirements. Recommendations were made to improve the guideline documents.

Proactive Safety

In India, approximately 30% of road accident fatalities occur on two-lane rural roads. Thus research focused on identifying risk factors on this road type is of immense interest to most of the road agencies. Although these highways are more hazardous and account for more severe crashes, there is a lack of scientific safety assessment of such highways compared with multi-lane highways. Proactive approaches, such as road safety audit, have been widely adopted by the government of India to reduce crash frequency and severity on highways. However, an effective road safety management program should exercise an optimal balance between reactive and proactive strategies to identify potential hazards and treat already existing hazardous sites. Through a case study on two two-lane highways, several risk factors were identified using the principles of road safety audit, and were mapped with the available crash data analysis to develop a risk matrix. This risk matrix was found to be helpful in the selection of countermeasure design in a more scientific way, targeting the frequent crash types and severities expected to result at the high crash sites. Finally, it was observed that integrating the findings from reactive analysis with proactive safety management is more beneficial, since they are methodically proven with historical crash records and provide the knowledge of plausible safety hazards at sites where similar features exist. The proposed methodology could be adopted by road agencies in India and other developing countries for effective proactive safety planning.

Major Highway

In India there is road network of 33 lakh kilometres of which nearly 65% of the cargo activity and 80% of traveller movement is on the road networks. National Highways constitute around 1.7% of the road network but carry about 40% of the aggregate road traffic. Number of vehicles has been increasing at a normal pace of 10.16% for every annum in the course of the most recent five years. Road safety audit is the formal methodology for getting accident potential and safety potential in the development of new road schemes and the schemes for the improvement and maintenance of the existing road facilities. Accident prevention and accident reduction are the two main strategies in the road safety. In this case study we analyse the NH-65 which is the major highway connecting VIJAYAWADA and HYDERABAD from the 270thKM to 247th KM. The highway carries considerable amount of traffic throughout the day and it has number of conflict points such as villages, industries. Detailed analysis of NH-65 will be carried out from the point of view of safety and geometric design aspects will be performed. This paper aims to identify deficiencies, improving design aspects, enhancing credibility of the roads.

Traffic accidents are increasing along with the increasing number of traffic violations, the increasing number of vehicles, especially motorcycles, and driving vehicles exceeds the maximum allowable speed (speeding). The number of traffic accidents and the number of accident victims is increasing every year. Data from the National Police Traffic Corps, road transportation accidents in 2016 recorded 106,129 cases with 26,185 fatalities, 22,558 seriously injured, 121,550 minor injuries, and property damage only Rp 226,883,000,000.00. The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, non-motorized vehicle users, children, and elderly people. The solution proposed is by mapping traffic accident-prone locations, conducting road safety audits at black spot locations to determine the conditions and handling efforts to reduce accident events in the form of installing traffic signs. The results of the road safety audit revealed that there had been a deficiency of road infrastructure in Tlahab Lor road section. One of the recommendations made is by installing traffic signs. Handling of black spot locations on the Tlahab Lor road, Karangreja that is by installing 4 (four) vehicle maximum limit signs of 40 km/h and 30 km/h. After knowing the location of black spot people is expected to be more alert and careful when passing through these roads.
