Speed Management and Safe Crossing on Dhaka-Sylhet Highway (N2) in Bangladesh

Figure 3.2: Expert visit at project location
(<strong>Speed</strong> measurement)
abroad contributed highly in
all along the process.
The infrastructural measures
for speed management were
designed following Dutch
road design guidelines,
applied to the specific
situation of the locations in
Bangladesh, <strong>and</strong> have been
validated by road safety
experts in Bangladesh. Figure
3.3 shows the measures
for Nilkuthi, one of the
3 intervention locations.
The measures in all three
intervention locations are
similar <strong>and</strong> include: speed
humps that reduce speed
of motorized traffic to an
expected 50 km/h, lateral rumble strips, one or two pedestrian crossings, signs <strong>and</strong> lining,
<strong>and</strong> a bus bay on both side of the road.
