The study has found that the reduction in speed in different categories of vehicles varied from 1. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to devise the ways and means to lay the same using thermoplastic paints only to increase its longevity and thereby reaping the dual advantage of retro reflectivity,” it said.Observing the efficacy of the uغير مجاز مي باشدe of retro-reflective paint to curb speeds, the ministry of road transport and highways is expected to issue a notification for the uغير مجاز مي باشدe of these 3D zebra crossings as a speed reduction measure.. The total number of people killed due to road crashes has increased from 1,37,572 in 2013 to 1,46,730 in 2015, registering an increase of 3.6 per cent to 20. “The 3D zebra crossings should be used at the hazardous stretches that witness heavy vehicular flow,” Mr Velmurugan added. Therefore, the use of 3D zebra crossing with thermo plastic paint is recommended for all the entry and exit points on the National Highways in order to study and monitor the reduction in speed over a time period of minimum one year,” the study added.“3D Zebra crossing may perform efficiently in reducing speed on the inter-urban National Highways/state highways passing through hamlets and serving small habitations.

The presence wholesale speed hump of 3D markings laid across the road is conspicuous from such height and consequently significant speed reduction was observed,” the study noted. “Minimum speed reduction of about 1.6 per cent was observed in the case of small cars (up to 1400 cc) whereas maximum speed reduction to the tune of 20.With road accidents claiming over 1,600 lives in the national capital last year, the illusion effect created by the 3D zebra crossing could go a long way in curbing speed and preventing crashes. In a study conducted recently by the expert body CSIR-CRRI, it has been found that vehicular speed could be curtailed by up to 20 per cent by employing 3D pedestrian crossings as compared to the normal zebra crossing on the roads, thereby preventing fatal accidents. “It is evident that HCVs and buses have an advantage over other vehicles owing to their height. He explained that significant speed reduction was observed in case of heavy vehicles due to their vantage point for observation of these crossings.3 percent was observed in the case of Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCVs),” the study noted.

The study has also advised speed reduction measures such as 3D crossings at usual urban stretches where the share of regular commuters following the same route is very high. It strongly recommended the use of thermoplastic paints for such crossings as they would not dissipate fast due to the heavy flow of traffic, thereby keeping the effect intact.“Upon interviewing drivers, it was reported that they felt some sort of hazard was lying across the road prompting them to reduce their speed about 10 to 20 m ahead of the mark,” the study noted.As per statistics, there is one death every four minutes due to road accidents in India which is nearly 382 road deaths every day. “Importantly, it was observed that the 3D zebra crossings made using conventional enamel paints dissipated very fast due to heavy traffic flow. Velmurugan, senior principal scientist with CSIR-CRRI, who was part of the team that undertook the study.5 per cent per annum which can be reckoned to be more than the total number of people killed in all the wars the country has fought till date.3 per cent, said Dr S

"Once built it will be able to bear the weight and width of all defence armaments required at the time of an emergency at border posts along the India-China border which is 200km from the tail of the all-weather road in Pithoragarh town," he said.The section is a part of the &warning post Manufacturers39;All-Weather Roads Project' launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the state assembly polls earlier this year.The official said that 7,000 trees would be uprooted for the construction of the road."Four companies have been assigned the task of constructing the road.It is likely to be completed by 2019. The deadline is likely to be easily met as the route has no over bridges or tunnels," said LD Mathela, executive engineer of NH 125.

The 12-meter wide road would be constructed by 2019 for which time and غير مجاز مي باشدt has been fixed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), sources said. These companies have # been enlisted after their experience in constructing all-weather roads was scrutinised," the engineer said."Construction of the 150-km long Tanakpur to Pithoragarh road is being carried out on war footing to meet the set time the 2019 deadline."Non-availability of non-rocky hill portion along the route is also a reason why no tunnels or over bridges are being built on the stretch," he said.Pithoragarh (U'khand): The work on the all-weather road in Uttarakhand has begun with the construction of the 150-km Tanakpur-Pithoragarh stretch which will make it easier for the armed forces to mobilise troops and armaments to the India-China border, officials said on Monday.The غير مجاز مي باشدt of the road, will be approximately Rs 1,065 crore, which excludes the غير مجاز مي باشدt of three bypasses, he said.

Unlike Garhwal, the nature of soil in the Kumaon region as well as the غير مجاز مي باشدts involved are not suitable for building tunnels and over bridges, the official said."According to the design submitted by the construction companies, the protection of sliding portions on the road will be given equal significance to make it weather resistant," Mathela said.The road is being constructed under the 'Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC)' module in which the designs of the project, outlines by experts, will be availed by the construction company, Mathela said.The foundation stone of the 12,000 crore project was laid by PM Modi during the state elections earlier this year. Mobilisation of forces and their armaments to the last posts on the India-China border in times of emergency will be much easier from the Tanakpur rail-head after the 150-km stretch is completed, officials associated with the project said.
