- W578045128 abstract "Road infrastructure safety design and engineering have now emerged as the core function of contemporary road transport safety policies. Developing countries like Bangladesh however have been slower in devising and adopting such approach and many roads still remain substandard. In Bangladesh, nearly 70 per cent of road accident fatalities occurred in rural areas including rural sections of national highways. Accidents and fatalities on national highways are characterized as clustering on selected sections, identified as hazardous road locations (HRLs). Nearly 40 per cent of road accidents are concentrated on around 2 per cent of the highway network. On-scene in-depth study of accident locations revealed that factors relating to road environment are significant in road accidents in Bangladesh and the road design features are indeed associated with particular accident types and hazards. It is time to ensure that the road and its environment are put into safety through both reactive (treatment of hazardous locations) and proactive approaches (road safety audit, inspection and assessment). This paper presents an overview of road safety in Bangladesh in terms of its factors and striking characteristics including aspects of road infrastructure safety improvements. The paper in particular highlights the potential of introducing iRAP tool of road safety inspection and assessment for systematic analysis of road infrastructure deficiencies towards providing targeted countermeasures to improve road safety across the entire road network in Bangladesh.
