To summarize - Action Plan for <strong>India</strong>n Roads (Contd…)<br />

• Unfortunately, the road maintenance is limited to fixing<br />

pot-holes and clearing of drainage facilities and plantation<br />

without replacing the missing / dilapidated traffic signs,<br />

guard rails, road markings and other safety features<br />

essential to create a safe road network.<br />

• In addition, safety measures incorporated in the road<br />

design of highways based on the RSA carried out at<br />

different Stages of Audit (esp. Design Stage) are frequently<br />

deleted with a view to reducing the overall cost of<br />

projects.<br />

• This defeats the basic aim of design of road to tackle<br />

road safety issues from the beginning and obviate future<br />

problems.
