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: Page | 1 EIA REPORT Environmental Impact Development of Deeg – Alwar – Behror Section of SH-14 as Assessment & Safe Demonstration Corridor Project (SDCP) under RRSMP Management Plan Corridor - 2 1 Star 100% 2 Stars Star Ratings 80% 3 Stars 60% 4 Stars 40% 5 Stars 20% 0% 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 Page | 2 EIA REPORT Environmental Impact Development of Deeg – Alwar – Behror Section of SH-14 as Assessment & Safe Demonstration Corridor Project (SDCP) under RRSMP Management Plan encroachments are difficult to be removed due to cost & its impact on livelihood of residents, a minimum of 1.5m of clear zone and a site specific strategy will be established which includes using speed calming measures such as speed breakers, delineations and signage. 0.3.2.
