Joint Seminar on Introduction of Expressways Guidelines
Joint Seminar on Introduction of Guidelines for Expressways
Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has prepared “Guidelines of Expressways” through a technical cooperation from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
The Guidelines highlight appropriate design principles for promoting safety conscious design and will go a long way in guiding the highway engineers and planners to make our expressway more safe, comfortable and of international standards.
Guidelines have been structured in four (4) volumes:
Volume I: Planning
Volume II: Design
Volume
Volume IV: Maintenance
The intended users of this guideline will be the transportation professionals / engineers that participate in or are responsible for any phase in the project preparation of the Expressway Project. This includes all public or private “practitioners” (e.g. managers, supervisors, engineers, planners, or technicians) that are involved with any issue or decision (e.g. legislation, policy, program, funding, operation & management and maintenance scenario) that may directly or indirectly influence the performance of an Expressway facility.
The set of Guidelines is available from Indian Roads Congress (IRC) as a priced publication.
For effective implementation of “Guidelines for Expressways”, joint seminars were held for officials of Ministry NHAI, and State PWDs in the metropolitan cities.
Presentation materials in the said seminars is available in the following URL (in the IRC web pages).
