Item ROAD SAFETY AUDIT AND A CASE STUDY ON KANO-KADUNA ROAD IN NIGERIA(2014-06-09) BALA, Nura; AYDIN, CumhurThe consequence of increasing number of traffic volume, road safety improvement is becoming a major policy for the road authorities. Road accidents create both social and economic cost on the country’s economy. When this is taken into consideration, it is therefore important to display different solution alternatives considering the budget limitations of the road authorities. Road accidents are serious problems throughout the world especially in low and middle income countries considering social, health and economic terms. The number of road accidents in such countries tends to increase every year. In this thesis, a case study is selected in Nigeria and the studies were performed to summarize actual practices of road safety auditing on existing roads in different countries. By taking account these different opinions and auditing procedures into account a strategy for road safety auditing on existing roads that fits to Nigerian roads conditions is proposed. For an evaluation, a case study was conducted in order to determine whether the proposed methodology adds a value to the highway network follow up and improvements. Based on this study, the audit report was prepared to summarize findings with possible countermeasures.
