Infrastructure: Road and Road Environment

Infrastructure: Roads and Road Environment

Possible loss of life on roads can be prevented significantly through improved level of safety on streets, avenues and roads as well as determination of speed limits that are appropriate for respective road sections and which have to be observed.

Presence of unsafe road sections within the general road network, undivided roads providing for two-way traffic as well as presence of trees, posts, walls, etc., which increase the risk of fatal outcomes in the event of an accident necessitate infrastructural interventions in the road environment for traffic safety.

The road network under the responsibility of the General Directorate of Highways is a total of 68.247 km including 3600 km of motorways (4.5%), 31.002 km of state roads (45.4%) and 34.185 km of provincial roads (50.1%). 27.181 km of the total road network is composed of divided roads.

Outcomes of studies regarding social and economic impacts of road investments conducted in various countries indicate the high level of added value from public investments in roads.

Improvements have been achieved in terms of braking distances and visibility through the construction of divided roads and improvements in vertical and horizontal geometrical aspects of roads that lead to accidents due to small radii; blind-spots inside junctions have been remedied through improvements in intersections and accident impact reduced by way of enhanced lateral visibility.

In view to minimize road defects contributing to road traffic accidents;

works concerning the construction of motorways and dual carriageways, climbing lanes, refuges and engineering structures are ongoing, including improvements in intersections and extension of lanes and shoulders within the scope of improving road geometry as well as

Building of guardrails, signalization works, horizontal and vertical markings, lighting, construction of overhead and under-passes and other works concerning the improvement of accident blackspots within the scope of improvement of traffic safety equipment and facilities.

In addition to bicycle lanes already integrated with the urban transportation network, the Bicycle Lanes Master Plan for Urban and Touristic Transportation for a total of 3165 km cutting through historical, natural and cultural sites and as part of “Strategies and Standards” to provide the basis for a national vision, two routes have been identified, namely, the Anatolian Corridor and the Coastal Corridor. Furthermore, the Bicycle Lanes Regulation has been published and the Safe Riding Skills Manual for heightened rider and road safety and the Bicycle Lanes Guide have been prepared, and Urban Bicycle Lanes Guide has been updated.

In the past, road infrastructure works have mainly focused on motor vehicles, compromising the safety of pedestrians, bicycles and motorbikes. Today, as many countries focus their works on walking and cycling, failure to improve related infrastructures to commensurately reduce the risk of injuries in traffic forces pedestrians and cyclists to share the same road environment with high-speed vehicles. In brief, improved infrastructures shall ultimately entail;

Safer infrastructures for all road users,
New bicycle routes/lanes and safer roadsides,
Design of safer intersections,
Separation of access roads and passageways,
Prioritization of pedestrian zones,
Restriction of traffic and speeds around settlements and schools, and
Use of safer routes for public transportation.

In short, infrastructure design and improved infrastructures reduce death and injuries in traffic, curbs emissions and when integrated with speed management strategies, they provide for more walking and wider use of bicycles, also facilitating the transition from use of private cars to public transport.

Risks	Rugged terrain and landslides causing delays in the work schedule along the main arterial roads on the N-S axis Expropriation issues Possible challenges regarding site allocation and permits for infrastructure facilities Deviations in works on accident blackspots and areas with high potential of accidents Possible delays during works for vertical/horizontal markings and guardrails Fast pace of technological advancements Failures in the timely delivery of such materials as various devices and the accessories thereof, spare parts, equipment”s, etc. used in transportation surveys Staff and budget-related shortcomings encountered during fact-finding and accessibility-related efforts Changing institutional priorities Possible shortcomings in human resources management and discontinuities in the employment of specialized staff Shortcomings in inter-institutional coordination and cooperation Variations between Turkish and European road standards
Strategies	As regards construction of roads, completion of investments in “roads and railroads linking prominent ports and other road investments along corridors accessing border crossings” as well as investments in divided roads and BHM (bituminous hot mix) applications “in sections of the road network with heavy-vehicle traffic” Considering prioritization based on such characteristics as articulated truck (TIR) routes as per AADHVT, E-W corridors, main N-S arteries, ports, border gates and international corridors as determinants during construction works Due diligence with national and international road traffic standards during planning, design and construction phases of infrastructure and superstructure works on urban and inter-city roads Maximum use of ITS (traffic sensors, cameras, VMS applications, lane control markings, electronic enforcement systems, volume-sensitive traffic management systems, satellite tracking systems, smart traffic light sensor applications, etc.) in traffic management Domestic production of technologies that support ITS, including incentives through cooperation with universities and the industry Effective management of urban traffic by using data from camera systems, critical junctions and crossings as well as from vehicle on-board navigation systems and GPS devices and other systems collected at control centers data collection and measurements to resolve urban traffic-related problems Dissemination of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) applications on the road network for the improvement, protection and management of roads, including domestic production of ITS-compatible technologies Dissemination of tonnage and dimensional checks for improved safety of the road network as well as for the protection of roads Prioritization of works concerning the installation of such systems as in maintenance, repair, modernization works as well as other electronic systems such as pre-warning systems, dimensional control systems, high-speed in-motion scales in view of the current conditions in road control stations Redressing of shortcomings identified on pedestrian crossings, including accessibility Enhanced inter-institutional cooperation and efficiency, analyses as required following findings and practices
Findings	In line with the target concerning the prevention of accidents, development and implementation of technological enforcement methodologies at once aligned with international standards and taking into consideration road user and vehicle characteristics Launching of the “Safe Schools Roads” project and performance of works as required with regional directorates of the Ministry of National Education and the General Directorate of the Turkish National Police in coordination with Governors/District Governors Inspection of compliance of traffic signage and markings with international standards, including urban roads Deviations from targets in the event of failures in appropriate budgeting for works specified in the investment program Shortcomings in processes due to unavailability of sufficient number of experienced staff Shortcomings in the provision of horizontal markings on state and provincial roads due to adverse weather conditions Delays due to legal processes during expropriation Building of a total of 3000 km of bicycle roads in line with the target of “greener and loveable cities” included in the Presidential Action Plan, seeking to reduce the impact of air pollution from traffic, protect physical and mental health, improve quality of life, raise awareness on the protection of environment as well as to improve urban esthetics Provision of financial support to bicycle road construction projects by local administrations by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization Rapid (daily) increase in the number of drivers and vehicles Insufficiency of trainings provided to help flourish a traffic culture Variations in speed limits applicable on similar roads of the nation
Needs	Ensuring a balance between the targets and budgetary resources Prioritization of coordination with stakeholders Improving institutional capacity Placing importance on prioritization efforts Efforts to remedy shortcomings in the provision of materials Ensuring continuity in the employment of specialized staff Prioritization of institutional priorities in policy papers, strategic and action plans Compliance with international standards of traffic-related bodies, tools and equipment used and of human resources Compliance with international standards of traffic-related bodies, tools and equipment used and of human resources Legislative changes as required
