Globally road traffic injuries are appraised to be the eighth leading cause of death, especially for the younger people between age 15 to 29, leading to hospitalizations and also physical disabilities resulting in severe socioeconomic costs across India which is a matter of concern. Road Safety Audit (RSA) is a formal procedure for assessing accident potential and safety performance of new and existing roads. RSA is an efficient, cost effective and proactive approach to improve road safety. It is proved that RSA has the potential to save lives. The objective of this study is to apply the RSA methodology on the selected route, identify deficient road safety features and suggest remedial measures to rectify them which can improve road safety and can also help in decreasing travel time, reducing congestion, and providing improved operating conditions to road users. |
