Hyderabad-Bijapur Corridor: Road Safety Success

Hyderabad-Bijapur Corridor’s Safety Success Highlighted in New Report

A 118-kilometer stretch on the Hyderabad-Bijapur State Highway has caught the spotlight in the recent ‘Road Safety Good Practices in India’ report from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. The study, done in partnership with SaveLIFE Foundation and the World Bank, reveals a 38.1% reduction in crash severity on this road between 2014 and 2018. The success is attributed to a comprehensive approach involving engineering, enforcement, education, and emergency services, collectively known as the 4Es.

The Hyderabad-Bijapur State Highway runs through Rangareddy and Vikarabad districts, starting from the APPA Junction where it meets the ORR and extending up to the Karnataka border. Passing through villages like Moinabad, Chevella, Manneguda, and Parigi, the route saw 143 crashes and 84 fatalities. To address this, a collaborative effort invested Rs 29.79 crore, contributed by the State government and the World Bank.

In terms of engineering, intersections and curves along the route were widened and enhanced. Mobile barriers, fluorescent cones, and upgraded street lights were also installed. To enforce road safety, outposts, and patrolling vehicles increased, especially in critical areas like Manneguda and Kodangal. The installation of two electronic weighbridges targeted the issue of overloaded trucks. School zones witnessed a reduction in crashes through outreach programs in educational institutions and an effective ‘No Helmet-No Petrol’ campaign was launched in Adilabad.

Curbing Noise Pollution: A Crucial Priority

Recognizing the detrimental effects of noise pollution on public health and well-being, the Hanamkonda Traffic Police have intensified their efforts to address this pressing concern. The excessive noise produced by vehicles equipped with modified or loud silencers has been a source of inconvenience and annoyance for both residents and pedestrians. In response, the traffic police have taken proactive measures to restore tranquillity to the streets of Hanamkonda.

Taking Decisive Action: Destruction of Noisy Silencers

To reinforce their commitment to reducing noise pollution, the Hanamkonda Traffic Police have undertaken a bold approach. They have initiated the destruction of loud silencers found on vehicles during routine inspections. This zero-tolerance stance sends a clear message that the authorities are unwavering in their determination to enforce noise pollution regulations and maintain the serenity of the city.
