31 Report of site visit of Traffic & Transport Engineer (Mrs. Lakshami Menon) 1.0 Road safety Audit Report This report presents the findings of road safety audit conducted on 12 th June 2015 on the Kondhali- Talegaon section of NH 6. The audit team consisted of the following members: 1. Mr. Hemant Kumar Pandya, Team Leader 2. Ms. Lakshmi J Menon, Traffic and Transportation Engineer 3. Mr. Jitesh Choudhary, Asst Bridge Engineer 4. Mr. Babarao Rajuskar, Asst. Highway Engineer The objective of the audit was to assess the safety requirements of the roadway which is being maintained by the concessionaire. Operation and maintenance activities were reviewed. The condition of road and traffic control devices was surveyed. Accident spots were examined to assess the cause and to suggest probable prevention measures if warranted. 1.1 Traffic flow and Speed The project road caters to its intended function of providing conditions commensurate to national highway standards for smooth flow of traffic. The traffic flow is uncongested throughout the project stretch. The smooth free flowing traffic condition, however, seems to encourage over speeding. This was observed during the survey and is also evident from accident reports. An accident spot is highlighted in Figure 1-1 where skidding occurred due to over speeding. The alignment has an up-gradient with curves before (Figure 1-2) and after the minor bridge. Sufficient signages are provided in the form of single chevrons, object hazard sign and curve warning sign. These may be augmented by providing a speed limit sign showing the design speed of the curve. Page 31

33 1.2 Road surface, carriageway markings and shoulder condition The road pavement and carriageway markings are generally in good condition throughout the project road. However, earthen shoulders are not maintained well at many stretches on the project road (Figure 1-3). Maintenance of earthen shoulders is required for the sections indicated in Table 1 Figure 1-3 Earthen shoulder needs maintenance (km 55/600- LHS) Table 1 Stretches requiring maintenance of Earthen Shoulders Maintenance Action Required Chainages Side km50/200 to km 50/400;km 52/400 to km LHS 52/600;km 55/530 to km 55/650; km 61/360 to km 61/460; km 66/600 to km 66/800, km 82/700 to km 82/900, km 87/800 to km 88/000, km 98/650 to km 98/800, km 99/000 to km 99/100 Earthen shoulder maintenance km 55/200 to km 55/400, km 56/950 to km 57/050, km 57/200 to km 58/800, km 61/650 to km 61/850, km 68/700 to km 68/900, km 71/850 to km 71/900, km74/800 to km 74/850 km 80/000 to km 80/100, km 82/700 to km 82/800, km 84/200 to km 84/400, km 84/900 to km 85/000, km 86/800 to km 87/000, km 90/200 to km 90/400, km 92/000 to km 92/600.
