etc., demobilization details
Never park patrolling vehicle on main carriage way for
any reason except an emergency **If there is any
emergency stopping on MCW, the occupants should be
evacuated from the patrolling vehicle within 30
seconds*

10. Periodic Maintenance Works – Work zone marking –


mobilization and demobilization
Work confined to specific hours
Safety officer sign off on the location specific work
program
Road accidents- causes:

The primary causes for the road accidents on the highways are
attributable to the following:

Road Users:
High speed of travel
Drunken driving
Failure to follow lane discipline and absence of road & traffic
sense
Wrong side driving
Wrong parking on the carriageway
Lack of alertness on the part of drivers (being stressed, sleepy,
tired etc.)

Highway Infrastructure :
Inadequate warning to make the above road users alert and
slow down
Lack of lighting during nights
Inadequate signage and work place safety accessories
Accidents – Mitigation Measures

Apart from the ongoing road safety programs & campaigns


involving the road users, engagement with the communities living
adjacent to the project highway in road safety education and
current road safety practices, the following are being explored for
commissioning:

•Using existing infrastructure to inform the road users about the


ongoing maintenance or repair works or accident ahead
information
Toll Plaza announcements – Public address system to be design
for the toll plaza
Messaging on the VMS
inform of any of the maintenance activities or accidents on
the highway stretch
•Meaningful engagement with the district administration and
NHAI in having them mobilize resources to the highway for
controlling vehicular speeds and drunken driving
•Detailed Action Plan for key critical works
Action Plan:
1. Median Activities – Operational Control Procedure

Highway maintenance and repair works carried out in the median /


fringe zones of the median have very high degree of risk for the
manpower as well as machinery used. The purpose of OCP is to
establish procedural controls to ensure that no damage to life and
property occurs while carrying out the said activities.
Activities of maintenance/ repair, which are carried in/around the
Median are as follows:
a) Median plantation maintenance
De-weeding and cleaning, Trimming, Basin-hoeing
Watering the plants
