0. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

0.1. Project Background

The Government of Rajasthan has received assistance from the World Bank for preparing

and implementing the Rajasthan Road Sector Modernization Project (RRSMP), which entails

components such as; (a) Rural Connectivity Improvement; (b) Road Sector Modernization

and Performance Enhancement and (c) Road Safety Management. The objective of the

project is to improve rural connectivity, enhance road safety and strengthen road sector

management capacity of the state.

Component (c) will support the strengthening of road safety management systems in

Rajasthan with the objective of reducing the number of fatalities and serious injuries from

traffic accidents in the state. This will be accomplished through.

Safe Demonstration Corridor Project/ Program (SDCP)

Multi-sector road safety interventions on selected road corridors.

Establishing a multi-sector Road Safety Strategy through:

Select policy reviews (such as crash investigation and training for Police for the

state).

Road safety education and awareness programs.

Support to the state's other stakeholder Departments on procurement of some road

safety equipment and related training under some ongoing initiatives.

The objective of the assignment is to develop and manage the implementation of a Safe

Demonstration Corridor Program (SDCP) aimed at reducing the number of road accident

fatalities and serious injuries through coordinated multi-sectoral interventions. In order to

identify a suitable Demo Corridor, where multi-sectoral interventions are effectively

implemented and the corridor, RPWD identified 7 High risk corridors. Seven High risk

corridors were studied by iRAP Surveys, Star Ratings and Historical Accident Data. These

corridors were rated based on Road Protection Scores/ Risks.As per this analysis, Corridor 2

and Corridor 7 were found vulnerable and need immediate safety improvements. However,

Corridor 7 has been converted to National Highway, Corridor 2 is selected as Demonstration

Corridor.

Corridor 2 (State Highway 14) section from Deeg (Km 32+700) in Bharatpur District to

Behror (Km 162+850) in Alwar Districts will be developed under Safe Demonstration

Corridor Project.

0.2. Existing Road Conditions on Proposed SDC

The consultant, EPTISA-RACC-ITE team has conducted iRAP field survey on the proposed

Safe Demonstration Corridor (SDC), coded the survey data as per iRAP format and

uploaded coded data to the iRAP online software – VIDA. iRAP Analyst with the help of

VIDA, analyzed coded data of proposed SDC and rates the corridor with respect to different

types of users, in the scale of 1 to 5 stars (5 being excellent rating). The results are

graphically represented below:



Management Plan

Page | 2

Proposed SDC is primarily a rural highway with allowable operating speeds varying between

40 kmph and 60kmph with relatively flat side slopes. The corridor runs thru open area for

majority and followed by built-up area. The road section comprises of 7.0m wide carriage

way with 1.0m to 1.5m wide earthen shoulder on either side. The carriageway consist of

Flexible Pavement (about 102 Km) for majority and Rigid Pavement (about 12 Km) at built-

up sections. There are 72 Cross Drain structures along the road and 12.6 Km long storm

water drain in built up sections. There are more than200 minor intersections and 10 major

intersections. There are 9 cattle crossings and one wildlife crossing along the road. Also

there are three active waste dumping sites along the road.

Key road side obstructions are structures (building etc), sign boards, utility poles and trees.

Sight distance along the corridor appears sufficient and same should be reviewed at critical

curves. Traffic Control devices such as signs, marking, speed control measures appears to

be insufficient and to be reviewed.

Corridor crash data was reviewed for locations where crash concentration is higher. In this

regard, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has defined Road Accident

Black spot as a stretch of Highway of about 500m in length in which either 5 road accidents

(in all three years put together involving fatalities/grievous injuries) took place during the last

3 calendar years or 10 fatalities (in all three years put together) took place during last 3

calendar years.” Based on this definition, corridor has 17 black spots.

In addition, efforts were made to review locations with crashes are high but didn’t meet

MoRTH Black Spot criteria. These are “Road Accident Hazardous Locations” and defined as

a stretch of Highway of about 500m in length in which more than two numbers and less than

five numbers of road accidents (in all three years put together involving fatalities/grievous

injuries) took place during the last 3 calendar years. Based on this definition, corridor has 30

hazardous locations.

0.3. Proposed Improvements

0.3.1. Clear Zone

Clear zone is proposed considering operating speeds that vary from 40 to 60kmph, relatively

flat side slopes and presence of road side obstructions like road signage, poles, trees etc:

For Rural Segments (away from built-up areas) a 2.5m clear zoneon both sides of

the road is adopted. This will be in line with IRC 36 specified section for 2-Lane

Highway (1.5m hard shoulder + 1m earthen shoulder).

For built-up or semi-urban areas, efforts shall be made to achieve minimum 2.5m

clear-zone on both sides of the road. However, in cases where structures and

Applicable Operational Policies (OPs) of the World Bank.

Environmental Laws and Act of Government of India.

The requirements of Environmental clearances, Forest and Wildlife clearance, Clearance for

archeological sites during design stage of the project have been examined and it was found

that proposed development does not attract provisions of Environmental Clearance as per

MoEFCC. However there would be the requirement of Tree cutting permission from State

Forest department. Also as the location is in the vicinity of Deeg fort the construction work

will require permission from Archeological Department.

The contractor will obtain consent to establish and consent to operate under Air and Water

Act before commencement of construction activities. Also Labour Act, Factories Act and

Hazardous and Solid waste management Act are applicable for the project.

0.5.5.3. Protected Area

Corridor Section between 32+700 (Deeg) and 46+250 (Bedham Chowki) is within limits of

under Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ). Tree cutting in TTZ is prohibited and tree cutting in TTZ

requires permission of Honorable Supreme Court. About 49 numbers of trees are within

clear zone falls under TTZ, however, as per directive of Honorable Supreme Court, design

alternatives were considered to avoid cutting of these trees.

0.5.6. Socio-Economic Environment

There are forty four shrines along the road. There are five religious properties thatwill

be affected due to proposed development.

There are forty four schools and educational buildings along the road. Though there

is no direct impact on schools from proposed improvements, additional safety

provisions are proposed at 15 schools.

There are five hospitalsalong the road. None of the hospitals will be affected by the

proposed development.

There are eleven bus shelters along the road. Three bus shelters shall be affected

due to proposed development; these affected bus shelters shall be reconstructed and

altogether seventy bus shelters are proposed for construction.

There are59 miscellaneous buildings and structures along the road. These include

Police Chowkis, Sevakendras, Mandi, Power station and property of Forest

Department. Out of these 6 buildings/structure are partly impacted due to project.

There are nine cattle crossings along the road. The cattle crossings will be

considered in design in order to avoid accidents due to crossing of cattle.

There are 2108 poles along the road. Total 576 poles will be relocated under

proposed development.

There is Deeg fort along the road at Km 33.850 which is a protected monument. The

Deeg fort is a Monument of National Importance as per Archeological Survey of India

(ASI). The construction activity near fort attracts the provision of Ancient Monuments

& Archaeological Sites and Remains (Amendment and Validation) Act, 2010.

0.6. Stakeholders Consultation

Stakeholder consultations were held, as part of study, consultations were held with key

stakeholders such as people likely to be affected, beneficiaries, local and government

officials, community leaders.

Based on the suggestions given by local residents of Bagad Ka Tiraha during public

consultations, designs added bus shelters at Km 95+500 on either side of road. Also,

additional bus shelters are provided based on requirements of locals. The local residents

also raised the issue of accidents due to blind curve near Km 94+600. This location was

taken up for engineering improvements and same was applied to other similar locations

along corridor.
