Panaji: To bolster road safety measures and streamline traffic management, the Goa government has introduced a comprehensive policy outlining stringent guidelines for the design, placement, and maintenance of road signboards and markings across the state’s diverse road networks.
Aligned with Indian Road Congress standards, the policy ensures standardised and effective signage, fostering clear communication to road users, and ultimately contributing to safer roadways.
The primary objective of this initiative is to institute a uniform and efficient system of road signboards and markings that not only promote road safety but also facilitate seamless traffic flow. Covering all categories of roads under the jurisdiction of the PWD, including national highways, state highways, district roads, urban, semi-urban, and village roads, the policy sets a precedent for comprehensive road safety measures across varied terrains and traffic densities.
Key highlights encompass guidelines for signboard design, placement ensuring visibility and timely information, compliance with road marking standards, stringent implementation measures, public awareness initiatives, and periodic evaluations.
The policy aims to create a safer and organised road network by adhering to recognized standards, thereby enhancing road safety and providing a seamless experience for all road users in Goa.
Following implementation, regular evaluations by the PWD and stakeholders will be carried out to ensure the effectiveness of signage and markings, allowing for adjustments based on evolving road conditions and traffic patterns.
This groundbreaking system ensures that there are standardised and clear road signage installed, thus fostering road safety and efficient traffic management.
