Abstract Transportation has been instrumental in the growth of cultures since the dawn of time, allowing individuals to migrate and goods to be transported. A poorly aligned road not only creates a possible traffic threat but also increases commuting costs and puts a burden on drivers and travellers. As a result, careful decisions are critical in highway construction, both in terms of current needs and the potential growth of the region. A Road Safety Audit is a critical technique for paying detailed attention to road safety during the planning, construction, and maintenance phases of a road. The two key techniques in road safety work are accident reduction and accident prevention. This study focuses on both aspects. The road chosen in this study is another District Road in Bareilly District, Uttar Pradesh. It originates from Fatehganj Paschmi near NH-530 and merges with SH-37 at Baheri. Road Safety Audit is conducted on the road section before opening it to the traffic. This is a two-lane road without a paved shoulder in which Bareilly-Shahi Road also merges from the side at Chainage km 3+400. It has a Major Junction at Chainage km 10+000 which is densely populated Shahi Village. This study is about the road safety measures adopted on the newly built Bhitoura-Shahi-Shergarh-Baheri road and identifies any flaws that could result in an accident or pose a safety risk to road users. It is constructed to liberate people from traffic congestion. During the day, there is a lot of traffic on the road. On the basis of primary and secondary data collection, a systematic analysis of the road section is carried out. The methodology used entails gathering primary data performing a physical survey (inventory) and analyzing the observations, and secondary data from the appropriate authorities. Various recommendations to improve the deficiencies in order to ensure safe and efficient mobility are suggested as per IRC. The plants and tree along the road sides although control pollution of vehicles yet sometimes their branches have to be cut to reduce accidents.

Roads are an important element in promoting public welfare. With the approach of regional development, the achievement of balance and equitable regional development. Munjul-Panimbang Road Section, a crossroads of tourist access and liaison between villages and sub-districts, this certainly requires an increase in roads in facilitating transportation mobility. Improving the pavement structure that has been declining is one of the solutions that must be done immediately by replacing the pavement flexure structure into concrete pavement (Rigit Pavement). This project has been completed, thereby analyzing the suitability of the Concrete Pavement Road Pavement Planning. This road improvement uses the Concrete Pavement Concatenated Pavement (BBDT) type, stretching the thickness of concrete plate and the required reinforcement diameter. The research method based on Concrete Pavement Concrete Pavement Planning, Pd T-14 2003. Primary data and secondary data are needed as supporting in research. The result of the analysis shows that concrete pavement planning is 15 cm thick concrete plaster and perforated reinforcement per meter using 5D15 mm - 200 mm, while crosslinks per meter of 2D10 mm - 500 mm can withstand the burden of vehicles traveling on the road with the age of 20 years.

Purpose The quantity of e-taxi in Bangladesh is increasing day by day, especially in the municipality area. With the increase of this e-taxi quantity, it becomes hard to provide parking space for these consequences the illegal parking on road. This parking consequences traffic congestion on the road and obstructs the free flow of traffic. So, this paper aims to investigate the present scenario of this e-taxi parking problem and provides a solution by finding out a suitable location for an e-taxi station by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) approach. Design/methodology/approach For the study, both primary and secondary data were collected. Primary data on existing parking points on the road of e-taxi which consequences traffic congestion are collected from the Municipality area. Secondary data on the existing road network of the Pabna Municipality has collected from the MIDP data also from the literature review. For the suitability analysis process for establishing an e-taxi station, six variables were determined. These variables are determined from the previous studies and the expert opinion survey. The six variables are land use of the study area, road network of the study area, proximity to the office area, proximity to the educational facilities, proximity from the market and finally,proximity from the hospital. After the selection of the variables ranking value was determined from the expert opinion. Then using The AHP method final weight value is determined and, finally, with the assist of geographical information system. Findings From the resulting total 4,285 spots were found as optimally suitable spots are found which is almost 21% of the suitable spot. No mostly suitable spots are found from the GIS analysis. The moderately suitable spots were found in the prime number of 14,817 spots, almost 75% of the suitable spot. Likely the most suitable spots no partly suitable spots were found but the number of very few suitable spots was found in the number of 918, 4% of the suitable spot. A total of 20,020 spots was found as suitable for the construction of E-taxi station. Originality/value Finding out a suitable spot for e-taxi stand the traffic congestion can be solved, accident risk can be minimized during loading and unloading of passengers and the municipality authority can find a permanent solution for the traffic congestion problem.

Traffic discipline is an important attitude. Road drivers need to be accustomed to it if they want to reach their destination safely. Drivers need to be disciplined regarding regulation. Jakarta is a densely populated city with the problem of traffic congestion due to its road users who do not comply with regulations. Why are the people of Jakarta not discipline in traffic? What is the solution to make them obey traffic rules? These are main problems discussed in this paper. The research used the normative method, analyzed descriptively, used primary data which was supported by secondary data, and processed qualitatively. Jakarta people are not disciplined in traffic because there is no awareness about the importance of traffic order. As solutions, theremust be a strict law enforcement on the road, and officers must keep providing information to the public on the importance of traffic order. There must be sanction as a deterrent effect for those who are not disciplined in traffic.Keywords: legal compliance; law enforcement; traffic order.

Driving in a traffic flow implies involvement in difficult traffic situations that adversely affects response time of a driver, which in turn is considered when estimating stopping distance of a vehicle and determines road safety. This relationship shows the effect of driver behaviour in traffic flow on the road traffic situation. The objective of the study was to study behavioural factors that influence driver’s decisions. The study used methods of driver behaviour modelling, mathematical modelling, experimental studies of the mental and psychological functions of drivers. Modelling the driver’s behaviour, considering various combinations of many behavioural and other factors, leads to a large number of options for mathematical description of driver behaviour, which makes it difficult to use this approach to describe behaviour of drivers under the conditions of a real street-road network. The research has analysed several works devoted to the study of control action of drivers, using unknown coefficients, describing a model of movement of vehicles considering accuracy of their control. Driving through an unregulated intersection is considered as the most complex and informative version of driver’s behaviour. It is found that when modelling a traffic flow, it is necessary to take into account the degree of resoluteness of drivers (through determination of a coefficient of resoluteness which is a random variable that takes into account the probability distribution of the coefficient’s value in conjunction with the probability distribution of the function of traffic flow intensity). The distribution of the coefficient of resoluteness of drivers, obtained from experimental data, was subject to analysis. It is determined that the driving style affects formation of traffic congestion. The assessment of the driving style is made through conditional classification of driver behaviour on the road, namely marked by manifestation of aggression and timidity. When studying the behaviour of timid and aggressive drivers, several pairs of trajectories and the dynamics of the corresponding traffic flow density, were considered and calculated based on Edie’s model. It has been confirmed that traffic congestion has the greatest negative effect on choleric drivers and sanguine drivers. Besides, there is a relationship between the response time of a driver and the change in his functional condition. It is concluded that to improve road safety thanks to a more accurate assessment of possible risks of formation of congestion situations, it is necessary to consider behavioural characteristics and temperaments of the drivers.

The objectives of the research are (1) to identify the infrastructure of green open space (RTH) concept on the road corridor, (2) to analyze the fulfillment of road space conditions against the requirements of road functional (SLFJ), (3) to analyze the completeness and condition of the road facilities to meet the green open space standard (SRTH), and (4) to set up development directives and design concepts for the management and maintenance of road space infrastructures that support green open space standards based on road functional requirements. Primary data for the analysis were obtained by direct observation/survey at the research site in Jalan Abu Bakar Ali, Malioboro, and Solo in Yogyakarta City and survey of respondents of road users with questionnaires. Secondary data used to support the analysis are (a) road map and condition of around study sites, (b) assumptions in design standards, (c) standards on markers, signs, lighting, drainage, and (d) related study reports. The method of quantitative and qualitative analysis according to SLFJ and SRTH was applied rationally. It can be concluded that the knowledge and perceptions of respondents about the use of road space and environmental conditions around the road in the three locations was obtained in Good category with scores of 3.4; 3.52; and 4.2, respectively. In Jalan Abu Bakar Ali respondents responded Agreed (score of 4.18), meaning that it required additional facilities and maintenance of the RTH’s facilities and landscape. The management and maintenance of RTH's infrastructure and facilities of Jalan Abu Bakar Ali, Jalan Malioboro and Jalan Solo has been done by Yogyakarta City Planning Agency, organized and well-scheduled. Based on the evaluation of road functional requirement in Jalan Abu Bakar Ali (secondary collector), Jalan Malioboro (secondary artery), and Jalan Solo (secondary artery), all that are categorized as Conditional Function (LS). It means that the road has not fulfilled some road functional requirements in terms of utilization of road space, or there are still technical recommendations that must be met so that roads can be categorized as Function (LF). It obtained that Road Use Space (RUMAJA) is not effectively used, which characterized by still many permanent and non permanent buildings in the RUMAJA area. The design concept of the management and maintenance of road infrastructure should be based on the principle of maximizing road function (according to SLFJ) and the fulfillment of green open spaces on sidewalks and around (according to SRTH).

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.

Often we encounter several obstacles that cause traffic concentration at several points on a road segment which causes traffic movement to slow down and even stop. Concentration of traffic flow occurs at intersection points, such as one at the Pilau-Keruing intersection, where traffic moving on the Pilau road is forced to slow down when the traffic flow from Keruing road turns right to cut the flow. Therefore, it is very important to know the effect of turning movement on the smooth flow of traffic. Data collection was carried out by sending several surveyors to the field to obtain secondary and primary data. Furthermore, the analysis of road performance using the 1997 Indonesian Road Capacity Manual. The average space speed obtained from the graph of the relationship between DS and vlv is vlv=28 km/hour. The average speed from the results of the speed survey on the road section gives a value of vlv = 29.6 km / h with conditions without any obstacles to the flow of turning from the Keruing road to the Pilau road, and vlv = 25.6 km / h with the presence of turning current obstacles . There was a decrease in average travel time of 5.9 seconds, with a decrease in traffic speed of 4 km/hour due to the influence of vehicles turning from Keruing road to Jati road.
