The Indian roads and highways sector is the second largest road network globally. It bears the maximum passenger and freight traffic of any mode of transport in India. Investments in roads have been rising, with greater private sector involvement. National highways make up only 2% of the total road network but carry 40% of road traffic. The government has launched various initiatives like the National Highways Development Project to expand and upgrade the national highway network through public and private partnerships. Growing vehicle sales and economic activity are driving increased demand for transportation and boosting growth in the roads sector.

As its name indicates,This presentation explains about the types of accidents which can happen in urban and national highways.It was presented in master of transportation engineering and management class among the teachers and students.It also shows about the trends of accidents in Nepal that are taking place at various roads.Nepal government needs to take an immediate action for reducing the growing severe accident rates.
India has the second largest road network in the world, spanning a total of 4.7 million kilometres. Roads in India bear about 85 per cent of the country's passenger traffic and 60 per cent of freight traffic.
The value of total roads and bridges infrastructure is expected to touch US$ 19.2 billion by 2017. The key factors responsible for driving demand in the sector have been the rise in two-wheeler and four-wheeler vehicles and increasing freight traffic. Rising per-capita incomes and a growing middle class coupled with easier access to finance and a wider price range of vehicles have boosted car sales. During 2007-14, the sales of passenger and commercial vehicles are expected to increase at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15 and 13.5 per cent to touch 3.5 and 0.85 million respectively.
Infrastructure spending by the government is expected to touch US$ 1 trillion in the next Five-Year Plan (FY13-17). To promote the sector, the government has allowed 100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) under the automatic route. Development of national highways through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is expected to remain the key focus area for the government. During the next five years, investments through PPP are expected to be over USD41 billion for national highways and around USD10 billion for state highways.
An effective road safety management system covers three linked elements: institutional management functions, interventions and results. All countries should ensure that an effective road safety management system is in place.

Diaspora Investment: Opportunities and Challenges in Transport Infrastructure...Desh Sonyok
Abstract
Nepal has been experiencing unprecedented human mobility since late 1990s. According to the World Bank Survey (2009), a total of 2.1 million Nepalese migrant workers, here forth called Nepali diaspora, out of 29 million populations, are abroad. The rate of migration has been continuously increasing and consequently, remittance inflow is staggering. Nepal received remittance of 3.5 billion USD in 2010 which constitutes 20% of its total GDP. However, most of the remittance flow is limited to intra-family financial activities that basically support their family and relatives. Due to the absence of proper mechanism, financial flow from diaspora to productive investment sector, especially infrastructure development, is not channelized effectively. On the other hand, Nepal has one of the lowest transport densities and effective network access levels which are vital to development and socio-economic transformation. Numerous transport infrastructure projects ranging from medium to large scale cannot be materialized due to lack of development fund. Government has limited internal resources and dependence on donor support is ever increasing. Therefore, fund for transport infrastructure has always remained a key issue. Recently government of Nepal has brought forward strategy of public private partnership (PPP) under various schemes namely, Build Operate Transfer (BOT), Service Contract (SC), Management Contract (MC), and Annuity Contract (AC), Special Project Vehicle (SPV) Contract, User Community or User Group or NGO based contract. Under current PPP approach, Nepali diaspora capital from various host countries can be mobilized in infrastructure development project with profitable rate of return. This will benefit all stakeholders—homeland, hostland and diaspora themselves.

Editor's Notes
National highways (NHs) constitute around 2% of the road network but carry about 40% of the total road traffic. The
National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the nodal agency under the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways
(MoRTH), is responsible for building, maintaining and upgrading NHs. In order to develop the NH network in the
country, NHAI launched the National Highways Development Programme (NHDP) in December 2000.
NHDP projects are awarded to private players either on an EPC (cash) contract or on a buildoperatetransfer
(BOT)
basis. NHDP cash contracts are mainly financed through budgetary allocations from the Central Road Fund, negative
grants/ premium received, and toll revenues. Loans and grants are also received from the World Bank and the Asian
Development Bank.
State roads come under the jurisdiction of the respective state governments. However, the Central government may
provide financial assistance to state governments through various schemes for development of the road network.
The responsibility of awarding of contracts for road development is entrusted with two state government divisions,
namely the Public Works Department (PWD) and Road Development Corporation (RDC). Generally, cash contracts
are awarded by the state PWD, while BOT Annuity
and BOT Toll
contracts are typically awarded by the respective
state RDC.
The CRF is funded from the cess collected on the sale of petrol and high speed diesel (HSD). On every litre of petrol
and high speed diesel that is sold, a cess of Rs 2 is collected. The fund provides assistance to states for
development and maintenance of state roads, rural roads, national highways, under and over bridges and safety
works at unmanned railway crossings. 11 per cent of the cess collected on HSD and 30 per cent of that on petrol is
allocated towards maintenance of state roads.
Rural roads connect rural habitations to each other as well as with state and national highways.
Of the total 4.6 million km road network in India, rural roads account for around 3.7 million km
(80%).
PMGSY was launched in December 2000 with the primary objective of providing good allweather
connectivity to plain areas with population above 500 and hilly areas with population
above 250 persons. The programme also involves upgradation of the existing rural roads to allweather
roads. The PMGSY aims to provide new connectivity to 164,849 habitations. Up to
March 2015, 426,629 km of road had been constructed. Further 51,253 habitations have been
connected under the scheme up to March 2014. The programme also aims to upgrade about
374,844 km of existing roads. It is implemented only through cash contracts. To expedite its
implementation, in 2005, a part of this programme was brought under Bharat Nirman a
business plan to build rural infrastructure.
PMGSY, which is a 100% centrally sponsored scheme, is funded by budgetary allocations,
Central Road Fund (CRF) on high speed diesel (HSD), market committee fees, loan assistance
from the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), World Bank and the
Asian Development Bank.
Repayment of the principal amount of the loan taken from NABARD has commenced from
201011.
Due to this outflow, investment in PMGSY declined, thereby impacting the progress of
the programme. All upgradation projects were suspended in this period.
Growing domestic trade flows have led to a rise in commercial vehicles and freight movement
Increasing financing on vehicleloans
Road’s trafficshare of the total traffic* in India has grown from 13.8 percent to 60 percent in freight traffic, and from 32 percent to 85 percent in passenger traffic over 1951–2014
