Book Overview
Road Safety Audit: Challenges in India explores the pressing issues of road safety in one of the world's fastest-growing transport networks. With India facing some of the highest road accident rates globally, road safety audits (RSAs) have become an essential tool for identifying risks and preventing crashes.
This book delves into the concept, methodology, and importance of road safety audits while focusing on the unique challenges in the Indian context-from rapid urbanization and mixed traffic conditions to infrastructure gaps, policy bottlenecks, and enforcement hurdles. Drawing on national standards such as IRC guidelines and international best practices, it highlights real-world case studies, audit findings, and lessons learned from highways, expressways, and urban roads.
Key themes include:
Understanding the RSA process and its role in reducing crashes.
Institutional, financial, and technical barriers to effective implementation.
Common safety concerns observed on Indian roads.
Policy frameworks and their limitations.
Recommendations for building safer roads through audits, technology, and stakeholder collaboration.
