Abstract

This study evaluates highway roadside safety along Prabhat Chouraha to Bajrang Chouraha Raisen Road in Bhopal. Methods included a literature review, field observations, data collection, and analysis. A survey examined pedestrian and driver behaviors concerning safety. Results showed that pedestrians often ignore safety measures, while drivers frequently violate speed limits and engage in reckless behaviors. Poor pedestrian facilities, inadequate lighting, and weak enforcement exacerbate these issues. Speed calculations indicate that vehicles should not exceed 19.11 mph (30.77 km/h) on curved sections for safety. The study emphasizes the need for better speed regulations and safety measures to enhance roadside safety and reduce accidents in Bhopal.
