Project Scope
Widening of existing 2 lanes to 6 lanes divided carriageway facility including
rehabilitation of existing 2 lanes, from Km.273.500 to Km313.500 (Package-A) on JaipurKishangarh Section of the National Highway No.8 (NH-8) in Rajasthan.

The scope includes construction of co-centric widening of 24 km and eccentric widening of 16

km of road. There are three flyovers at km 273.885, km 275.885 and at km 294.200. Service
Roads will be constructed on both sides of the carriageway, in urban areas. The total length of
service road is 26 km, including both sides.
Cross drainage structures include 2 major bridges, 35 slab culverts and 5 pipe culverts.
For movement of cattle across the carriageway, cattle crossings will be provided at 05
locations.

1. Purpose of Overall Traffic Management Plan

The overall traffic management plan is designed and intended to specify adequate safety
measures in advance against identified hazards and stipulated implementation of the said safety
measures to ensure safe movement of traffic during the construction operations of JaipurKishangarh Expressway Project. The objective of safety standards is to provide safe travel to
the drivers of vehicles plying on the Project Highway at all times of the day, throughout the
year and provide protection to the Project workers when they are on the work. This overall
traffic management plan delineates the safety standards in terms of Construction zones, Signs
and Safety measures in work zones and during normal operations.

1.1. Construction Zone

Construction Zones are an integral part of any road construction system. The safety practices in
construction will, therefore, be oriented towards reducing conditions, which lead to such
hazards and consequent stress whereby risk of accident increases.

Safety measures will be aimed at avoiding hazardous conditions especially in work sub zones
where major construction activities are going on. For all purposes, the entire stretch from km
273+500 to km 313+500 will be treated as work sub zone.
1.2. Signs
The construction and maintenance signs fall into the three major categories viz. regulatory
signs, warning signs and guide signs as other traffic signs do. Ref: IRC: 67-2001 (Code of
Practice for Road Signs). These signs will be placed on the left hand side of the road.

Some other signboards will also be used to regulate the Traffic, which have not been
standardized. However they confirm with the general requirement of shape and color, and their
message is brief, legible and clearly understandable, i.e., CAUTION- Men and Machinery at
work Go Slow, CAUTION- Work in Progress Go Slow etc.

The location, frequency and type of signboards will be governed by the kind of traffic
situations arising during the construction. The same is listed in clause 3 (Scope) and the
detailed signboard arrangements for each case is discussed in further sections. Signboards of
the type men at work and speed limit will be provided at locations wherever required on a
case-to-case basis.

2. Traffic Management Practices

The traffic management strategies include the following fundamental principles:

i.

Making the traffic safety an integral and high priority element of the project.

ii.

Avoid inhibiting traffic as much as possible.

iii.

Guide Drivers in a clear and positive way.

iv.

Routine inspection of traffic control element and traffic operations

v.

Protection to Project workers on work site

finished asphalt top will prevent vehicles from crossing the median under construction, and
its further entry into construction area. In eccentric and concentric widening situations kerb
will be the pavement barricade wherever its casting has been completed.

10. Delineators
Delineators will be of cylindrical shape and will be made of concrete. They will be
painted with black and white circumferential strips. Red colored reflectors or retroreflective sheet will be fixed to the delineator so as to make it visible to the traffic from
either direction during night. These delineators will be placed at a suitable spacing to
guide the drivers along a safe path and control the flow of traffic.

11. Flashing Beacons

Flashing beacons will be provided during night at places where construction activities will
obstruct the main flow of traffic or at diversions where a switching of traffic occurs.
These beacons will be located where the traffic enters the new carriageway/ service roads
from existing carriageway and where the traffic leaves new carriageway/ service roads to
enter the existing carriageway.

12. Construction entry/ exit points

Construction entry/ exit points will be clearly identified and marked. Construction traffic
will be allowed to enter/ exit the construction area through these openings only. These
will be marked with signboards or red coloured flags.
