National Highways (NHs) works are carried out as per standards,  guidelines,  manual,  code  of  practice  of  Indian  Roads Congress  as  well  as  specifications  for  Road  and  Bridge  Works. Necessary road safety measures such as provision of service roads, median  openings,  merging  and  diverging  facilities,  crash  barriers, signage boards, foot over bridges, etc. are invariably part of the NHs works. Further, Road Safety Audit is carried out for the independent assessment  of  newly  constructed  roads  before  opening  them  to commercial traffic. All identified road safety issues, including those related  to  road  signage  and  markings,  are  addressed  before  the road is opened to the public. Subsequently, during the operation of the project highway, assessment is carried out at regular intervals to  identify  safety  issues  that  may  have  emerged  during  operation stage  and  any  necessary  remedial  measures  are  taken  in  a  timebound  manner.  Road  Safety  Audit  (RSA)  on  NHs  has  been  made mandatory  through  third  party  auditors/experts  at  all  stages  i.e. design, construction, operation and maintenance etc. As per outcome  of  the  report,  corrective  measures  are  undertaken.  The provisions  of  pedestrian  underpasses,  vehicular  underpasses  and light  vehicular  underpasses  are  invariably  made  at  the  time  of preparation of detailed project report as per traffic density, pedestrians' movement and site requirement.
