be pleased to state:

(a) whether the Government is aware of poor road conditions, traffic congestion and high accident rates on highways in Western Uttar Pradesh;

(b) if so, the details of the steps taken to upgrade road infrastructure and improve road safety in the region;

(c) whether similar road safety and infrastructure challenges exist in other parts of the country; and

(d) if so, the details of the national initiatives undertaken to modernise highways and reduce road accidents? ANSWER THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS (SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)

(a) to (d) The Government in Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is primarily responsible for development and maintenance of National Highways (NHs).

The Government receives proposals from various State Governments / Union Territories (UTs), including from the districts of Western Uttar Pradesh (UP) from time to time, for declaration / upgradation of State Roads, including State Highways (SHs), as newNHs. Decisions are taken to notify State Roads as NHs from time to time based on the broad principles of declaration of NHs, requirement of connectivity, traffic density and synergy with PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan (NMP).

Development and maintenance of National Highways (NHs) is a continuous process. Works on NHs, are accordingly taken up based on the traffic density, condition of road and synergy with PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan to keep the NHs in traffic worthy conditions.

Government has focused on development of NHs in accordance with the traffic volume and also ensuring that no

section of NHs should be left without any contractual maintenance agency.

The details of completed NHs projects for development and maintenance of NHs passing through Western UP during last three years and current year are at Annexure I.

Project-wise details of sanctioned/ongoing NHs projects for development and maintenance of NHs passing through Western UP with the time-frame of completion are at Annexure II.

Funds are allocated for development and maintenance of NHs State/ Union Territory-wise/agency wise and not district / region- wise.

The details of funds allocated and expenditure incurred towards development and maintenance of NHs in the State of Uttar Pradesh during each of the last three years and the current year are

as follows:

Amount in Rs Crore Year Allocation Expenditure 2022-23 21,453.40 21,453.40 2023-24 28,113.83 28,113.83 2024-25 20,682.48 20,664.95 2025-26 (Till 31.12.2025) 19,676.39 17,513.89A number of schemes have been implemented by the Government for development of NHs in the country. These are Bharatmala Pariyojana including subsumed National Highways Development Project (NHDP), Special Accelerated Road Development Programme for North-East Region (SARDP-NE), Special Programme for development of Roads in Left Wing Extremism affected Area (LWE) and Externally Aided Projects (EAP). NHs stretches not covered under any of the above schemes are taken up for development under National Highway Original [NH(O)] works depending upon traffic density, condition of road and synergy with PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan.

Regarding Accidents, the details of the number of accidents and fatalities reported on NHs including Western UP during each of

the last three years are as under: - 2023 2024 2025 Accidents Fatalities Accidents Fatalities Accidents Fatalities 150,177 63,112 150,958 64,772 1,34,307 57,482 Figures for calendar year 2024 onwards based on latest eDAR (Electronic Detailed Accident Report) data.

All NHs works are carried out as per standards, guidelines, manual, code of practice of Indian Roads Congress as well as specifications for Road and Bridge Works. Necessary road safety measures inter-alia include provision of crash barriers, signage boards, foot over bridges, etc. are taken up during design, construction, operation and maintenance stages.

Further, Guidelines have been issued for regular safety audit of all NHs at design, construction, pre-opening stage of NH projects as well as on existing NHs for ensuring road safety.

Road Safety Audit is carried out for the independent assessment of newly constructed roads before opening them to commercial traffic. All identified road safety issues, including those related to road signages and markings, are addressed before the road is opened to the public. Subsequently, during the operation of the project highway, assessment is carried out at regular intervalsto identify safety issues that may have emerged during operation stage and any necessary remedial measures are taken in a time- bound manner. Besides this, accident data on all existing and new National Highways is monitored on a pan-India basis through the eDAR (electronic Detailed Accident Report) portal, and accident spots are identified. Further, field officers have been delegated powers to take advance remedial action on these identified accident spots, preventing them from being converted to blackspots.

Also, identified blackspots are rectified by carrying out short- term measures like road markings, signages, crash barriers, road studs, delineators, closure of unauthorized median openings, traffic calming measures, etc. in a time bound manner. Further, long-term measures like improvement of road geometrics, junction improvements, spot widening of carriageway, construction of underpasses/overpasses, etc. are also taken as permanent rectification measures based on road safety audit report and site conditions.

Furthermore, Government has formulated a multi-pronged strategy to address the issue of road safety based on 4E's i.e.

Education, Engineering (both of roads and vehicles), Enforcement and Emergency Care, details of which are placed at Annexure-III.ANNEXURE-I ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (d) OF LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 2211 FOR ANSWER ON
