-TO SUPPORT THE MAIN FUNCTION OF STREETS WHICH IS THE

MOVEMENT OF VEHICLES & PEDASTRIANS.

1. TRAFFIC AIDS

2. ROAD BEAUTIFICATION

3. FACILITIES

4. INFORMATION PROVIDERS
 ONLY THOSE ITEMS WHICH ARE NECESSARY MUST BE PROVIDED.

INITIAL COST & COST OF MAINTENANCE IS IMPORTANT.

MATERIAL SELECTED SHOULD BE DURABLE.

DESIGN SHOULD BE VANDAL-PROOF.

SHOULD BE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING & MATCHING WITH

SURROUNDINGS.
1. ROADWAY DELINEATORS
2. SAFETY BARRIERS
3. BARRICADES & CHANNELIZERS
4. RAILINGS
5. TRAFFIC SIGNS
6. OVERHEAD TRAFFIC SIGNS
7. TRAFFIC SIGNAL POSTS
8. TRAFFIC IMPACT ATTENUATION
9. TRAFFIC AID POSTS
10. HAZARD MARKERS & OBJECT MARKERS
11. SPEED BREAKERS
-TO PROVIDE VISUAL AID TO THE DRIVERS AT NIGHT.

-WHERE HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL GEOMETRY CHANGE DURING WEATHER

CONDITIONS SUCH AS FOG,SNOW

-GENERALLY IN THE FORM OF GUIDE -POSTS OF METAL,CONCRETE,

TIMBER,CUTSTONE HAVING CIRCULAR / RECTANGULAR CROSS SECTION

-SIDE FACING THE TRAFFIC SHOULD HAVE A DIMENSION NOT LESS THAN
10 cm

- SPACING SHOULD BE 50-70 m ON STRAIGHT SECTIONS

GENERALLY USED IN:

HORIZONTAL CURVES OF RADIUS 1000 m OR LESS.

VERTICAL CURVES WITH INADEQUATE VISIBILITY.

ROAD SECTION WHERE VISIBILITY IS OFTEN POOR DUE TO MIST

REACHES WHERE ALIGNMENT IS UNCERTAIN

VALLEY SIDES OF HILL ROADS

ROAD EMBANKMENTS EXCEEDING 3m IN HEIGHT

-INTENDED TO DEFINE OBSTRUCTIONS LIKE GUARD-RAILS AND
ABUTMENTS ADJACENT TO THE CARRIAGEWAY.
-USED TO INDICATE HAZARDS AND OBSTRUCTIONS WITHIN
VEHICLE PATH (CHANNELISING ISLANDS CLOSE TO THE
INTERSECTIONS)

EXAMPLES:

i. TRAFFIC ISLANDS AT APPROACHES TO INTERSECTIONS.

ii. AROUND PERIPHERY OF ROTARY ISLANDS

iii. MEDIAN OPENINGS.

iv. ON MEDIANS/ISLANDS ON FAR SIDE OF INTERSECTIONS

v. ON FAR SIDE OF T-JUNCTIONS & STREET DEAD ENDS

a) ALSO KNOWN AS SPEED CONTROL HUMPS

b) IN PRIVATE ACCESS ROADS & NEAR SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSTIES

c) HUMPS SHOULD BE PAINTED WITH WHITE PAINT TO MAKE THEM

VISIBLE AT NIGHT.

100mm

50 mm
450 mm

LENGTH 3.7 m
-USED INSTEAD OF SPEED BREAKERS.

-PRODUCE NOISE AND PHYSICAL SENSATION ON STEERING,

DRIVER GET ALERTED

-MADE BY INCORPARATING CHANGES IN THE PAVEMENT TEXTURE

BY A ROUGH SURFACE, WHICH CAN BE CAST IN CEMENT CONCRETE
BLOCKS.

- 5 TO 10 STRIPS AT 100m INTERVAL

-NEEDED FOR GUIDING PEDASTRIANS TO SUBWAYS,FOOT BRIDGES
AND SURFACE CROSSINGS AND FOR PREVENTING THEM FROM
SPILLING INTO THE CARRIAGEWAY.

-GUARD RAILS SHOULD BE SET BACK 500mm FROM THE KERB TO GIVE
ENOUGH CLEARANCE TO PASSING VEHICLES.

-DESIGN SHOULD BE NEAT AND VANDAL PROOF.

-HEIGHT OF ABOUT 0.9 TO 1.2m IS SATISFACTORY.

-INTENDED TO PREVENT VEHICLE ACCIDENTALLY LEAVING HIGHWAY.

-EG:APPROACHES TO BRIDGE & HIGH EMBANKMENTS

-DESIGN TO WITHSTAND THE IMPACT OF VEHICLE AND DEFLECT THE SAME

INWARDS
-REQUIRED BY CONTROLLING AND DIVERTING TRAFFIC ON

CONSTRUCTION ZONES AND TEMPORARY DIVERSIONS.

-USUALLY MADE OF PLASTIC.

-FOR ABSORBING ENERGY OF IMPACT OF VEHICLES THAT

GO OUT OF CONTROL.

- NORMALLY PROVIDED IN THE GORE AREA OF INTERCHANGE RAMPS.

NEEDED FOR COLLECTING TRASH THROWN AWAY BY THE ROAD USERS
TREE GUARDS, PLANTERS

BUS STANDS, TAXI STANDS, ROADSIDE TOILETS,REST AREAS

ROADSIDE ADVERTISEMENTS
