4. Priority shall be given for important prioritized items of the Road Safety Interventions

since budget is a constraint. And also depending up on funds available, high traffic

 11

view. Other wise general IRC / MoRT&H standards should be mentioned for

construction of roads and bridges.

The Superintending Engineers are informed that the rates for non SSR items will be

circulated separately for estimate purpose. Meanwhile detailed estimates may be

prepared and kept ready.

All the Superintending Engineers(R&B) are requested to take up the detailed physical

survey of all the roads in district in respect of the above road safety interventions and

detailed estimates should be submitted urgently. Depending upon the financial constraint

Superintending Engineers(R&B) are requested to prepare estimates in phased manner

taking top traffic corridors on priority. All 4 packages should be taken up simultaneously.

The survey format is enclosed as Annexure-IX for the purpose of assessing the

requirements and preparation of estimate.

Further, all Superintending Engineers (R&B) are requested

• To remove all unauthorized speed breakers on roads

• To identify Government land for construction of wayside rest houses and parking bays

to provide rest places for drivers. The Government is interested to take up the parking
