 WHAT IS A HIGHWAY ?

A highway is any public or private road or other public way on land. It

is used for major roads, but also includes other public roads and
public tracks.
A main road, especially one connecting major towns or cities.
Main purpose of highway is transportation and connecting cities.
Main objective of highway is to provide optimum efficiency in traffic
operation with maximum safety at reasonable cost.
 ADVANTAGES OF HIGHWAYS :-

 Saving in vehicle operating cost.

 Fast and comfortable journeys.
 Reduce fuel consumption.
 Safe travel.
 Maintaining law and order in the country.
 Provide good commercial link between cities.
 Highway play a vital role in national defense.
 CLASSIFICATION OF HIGHWAYS :-

• Depending on weather :-
All weather roads
Fair weather roads
• Depending the type of Carriage way :-
Paved roads(WBM)
Unpaved roads(earth road or gravel road)
• Depending upon the pavement surface :-
Surfaced roads(bituminous or cement concrete road)
Unsurfaced roads
• Based on the Traffic Volume :-
Heavy
Medium
Light

• Based on location and function (Nagpur road plan) :-

 National highway (NH)
 State highway (SH)
 Major district road (MDR)
 Other district road (ODR)
 Village road (VR)
• Based on modified system of Highways classification :-
Primary :-
Expressways
National Highways
 Secondary :-
SH
MDR
 Tertiary :-
ODR
VR
 NATIONAL HIGHWAYS :-

NH are the main highways running through the length and breadth of
India, connecting major parts, foreign highways, capital of large states
and large industrial and tourist centers including roads required for
strategic movements for the defense of India.

All National Highways are assigned the respective numbers.

 STATE HIGHWAYS :-

STATE HIGHWAYS :-

STATE HIGHWAYS :-

STATE HIGHWAYS :-

They are the arterial roads of a state, connecting up with the national
highways of adjacent states, district head quarters and important cities
within the state.
The state highway should have 8 m wide carriage way with 2 m wide
shoulders on each side.
The state government PWD look after the construction and
development of these road.
The central government gives grants for the development of the state
highways.
 Major District Roads:-

MDR are the important roads with in districts.

It is connecting main highways of the district.

The responsibilities of construction and maintenance of MDR lies
with District Authorities.
 Other District Roads:-

 Other District Roads serving rural areas of production and providing

them with outlet to market centres, taluka head quarters, district head
quarters or other main roads.
 Village Roads:-

Village roads are connecting villages or groups of villages with each

other to the nearest road of a higher category.
These roads are very important from rural development point of view.
 INDIAN ROAD NETWORK :-
India has the second largest road network across the world at 5.4 million km.
This road network transports more than 60 per cent of all goods in the country
and 85 per cent of India’s total passenger traffic.
Road transportation has gradually increased over the years with the
improvement in connectivity between cities, towns and villages in the country.
The Indian roads carry almost 90 per cent of the country’s passenger traffic
and around 65 per cent of its freight.
In India sales of automobiles and movement of freight by roads is growing at
a rapid rate.
