The existing Carriageway of the Patna-Munger stretch varies to a large extent from 7m to 15m without any dividers/ pavement markings/signs etc. Existing geometry is very poor with curve radii varying from point to point with irregular alignment/carriageway edge. Major traffic movement is from the Patna side to the Munger side whereas this stretch is getting interrupted by three undeveloped and unregulated junctions thereby leading to a large number of conflict points. There is no streamlining of traffic movements.

The safety aspect of engineering measures related to roads is more misunderstood than it is understood. Road safety through engineering measures is not ‘Removing congestion on roads’. Road safety through engineering measures demands a holistic approach and balancing at every step. Enforcement should provide enough deterrence against the irresponsible use of road infrastructure and negligent use of roads to the detriment of fellow users.
