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:

Environmental Impact Assessment &
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
