Road way Condition Survey:

Roadway condition is an important parameter in selecting things for improving vehicular

movement in a road or highway. Sometimes roadside use pattern in our country affects the

traffic stream and the smoothness of their passing in the road

5

Objectives of road way condition survey:

1. Observe Geometric Condition of Roadway

2.Observe Surface Condition of Roadway

3.Observe Operating Condition of Roadway

6

Methods of roadway condition survey :

Pavement Condition Survey

Manual Method

Walking Survey

Windshield Survey

Walking + Windshield

Survey

Automatic Method

Study site :

Panthapath Road Segment between Russell Square and Green road Panthapath Intersection

11

Data Collection :• Location: Panthapath to Russel square

direction• Observation : One directional• Date: 16th January , 2014• Time: 9.00 am to 9.30 am• Duration: 25 min• Weather: Hot, humid• Method: Manual Method • Equipment: Data sheet, Tape, Camera.• Number of Surveyor : 8

14

GEOMETRIC PROPERTY OF SURVEY ROAD:From Russel Squere to PanthaPath : (Left Side)

15

A Sketch of the road :

16

Side road: A minor or subsidiary road, especially one joining or diverging

from a main road. It distributes trips between the main road

and local area.

17

Effects of side road on roadway condition:

Positive effects:1.Connecting residential areas with main road.

2.Making easy and movable access for the traffic of their residents and visitors.

18

Negative effects:

1.Increased traffic at the intersection of side road and main road.

2.Irregular and unplanned design, maintenance causing congestion and accidents

SURFACE DISTRESS

Surface distress is "Any indication of poor or unfavorable pavement performance or signs of impending failure; any unsatisfactory performance of a pavement short of failure"

Classification of Distress1. Fracture ( in the form of cracking)

2. Distortion(i.e. rutting, corrugation and shoving)

3. Disintegration(i.e. form of stripping, raveling or spalling)

22Fig: Typical surface distress found on the survey

zone.

1.Ravelling

2.Rutting

Drainage Point :

Number of drainage point:From Russels Square – Panthapath (right)=54* From Russels Square – Panthapath (left)=48*

26

Drainage Point :

27

Importance of drainage :

1.To prevent flooding of the road and ponding on the road surface

2.To protect the bearing capacity of the pavement and the subgrade material

3.To avoid the erosion of the side slope.

28

Drainage Point :

29

Street Lighting• Street lights are provided mainly to improve

road safety at night, but we know that they also help to reduce crime and the fear of crime, and to enhance the night-time urban environment.

• Generally, all roads, car parks and footpaths

adopted (owned) by Roads Service in urban areas are lit. Exceptions to this include rear paths which only give local access, and sections of adopted urban roads where there is no continuous development.

Pedestrian behavior

Major factor for the safety on the road.

Unawareness and lack of facilities disrupting the roadway condition

34

Lack of authorization of law :

35

Footpath blocked by tea stall and shop staff

36

Cummunal bin block footpath and half of the road

37

Signal hidden by tress and advertising board

38

Improper maintenance and use of the road :

39

1. THE SURFACE CONDITION OF ROADWAY WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND ACCORDING THE CODE THE MEDIANS WERE NOT GEOMETRICALLY RIGHT. FOR THE LACK OF MAINTENANCE THE ROAD MARKS WAS ALMOST INVISIBLE. SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS THE REGULAR AND CAREFUL MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE DONE.

2. THE ELECTRONIC SIGNALS WERE ALMOST SHADED BY TREES AND BILLBOARDS, SOME OF THEM WERE NOT WORKABLE. SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS THOSE TREES SHOULD BE CUT AND THE BILL BOARDS SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THERE.

3. THE ROAD SIGNS WERE OLD AND COVERED BY POSTERS AND WAS ALSO BROKEN, SO IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT THOSE SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH NEW ONE.

4. ESTABLISHING CLEAR ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVT. FOR COORDINATION OF INITIATIVES TO PROMOTE SAFE WALKING IS RECOMMENDED.

5. THERE WAS NO EXTRA FACILITIES FOR BLIND, OLD OR AUTISTIC PEOPLE FOR USING THE ROAD OR CROSSING THE ROADS SAFELY. SO SOME EXTRA FACILITIES LIKE WIDER ZEBRA CROSSING, WIDER FOOTPATH, EXTRA TRAFFIC POLICE CARE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDATION
