 1. INTRODUCTION

Highway engineering is an engineering discipline branching from Civil

Engineering that involves the planning, design, construction, operation, and

maintenance of roads, bridges, and tunnels to ensure safe and effective

transportation of people and goods.

Highway planning involves the estimation of current and future traffic volumes on

a road network. The Highway planning is also a basic need for the Highway

development. Highway engineers strive to predict and analyze all possible

civil impacts of highway systems. Some considerations are the adverse effects on

the environment, such as noise pollution, air pollution, water pollution, and other

ecological impacts

Road, traveled way on which people, animals, or wheeled vehicles move. In

modern usage the term road describes a rural, lesser traveled way, while the

word street denotes an urban roadway. Highway refers to a major rural

traveled way; more recently it has been used for a road, in either a rural or

urban area, where points of entrance and exit for traffic are limited and

controlled.

8
  The Necessity of Highway Planning
The necessity of Highway Planning are as follows

 Highway planning is very important for planning an efficient network of

the roads and for Safe traffic operations.

 To plan for the future requirements and the Developments of the roads in
the country.

 To plan for Construction and maintenance of various types of the road

network.

 To work out the financing system.

 Formation of Road Development Plan

After the End of the First World war, the demand for a better road network,
especially considering the formation width of road, is increased. The existing
roads in India are not capable of heavy traffic and transportation.

It is a need that there should be a good road Development Plan which will help
in the overall development of India.

The Indian legislature passed the legislature for the appointment of the
committee in order to examine and make a detailed report on the development
of roads in India

9
2.Classification of Roads by Nagpur Road Plan

The first 20 year road plan is also popularly known as Nagpur Road plan, which
many refer to when discussing what the nagpur plan is associated with. For
development and construction of roads to the government took a conference of
chief engineers at Nagpur in 1943. The conference, held in nagpur plan 1943, is
popularly known as the Nagpur road plan.
Nagpur road plan is the first attempt for the road development programme.
The construction and the development of the roads were assigned to the central
government of India.
The target road length in the Nagpur road plan is 16 km per 100 square km area
of the country. The Nagpur road Development Plan was planned for a time
period of 1943-1963, but it was achieved two years before.

10
The target road length in the Nagpur road plan is 5,32,700 km.
The pattern which is used in the roads for nagpur road plan is based on.
The Development allowance for Nagpur road plan is 15%.
The salient features of nagpur road plan include its classification of
roads as follows
1. National highway(NH)
2. State highway(SH)
3. Major District Roads(MDR)
4. Other District Roads(ODR)
5. Village Roads(VR)
6.

1. National Highways (NH)

National Highways are the main highways which run through the length
and breadth of India and join the main parts, capital of states, and large
industrial and tourist centres which includes various roads required for a
strategic moment for the defence of India.
The Road width varies from 7 m to 15 m for the National highways in
India.
All the National highways are assigned with the numbers for example
Amritsar-Ambala-Delhi Road-NH1
Agra-MumbaiRoad-NH3

11
2. State Highways (SH)

The Highways linking up with the National Highways of adjacent States

district headquarters and important cities with the states are known as
state highways.
The responsibility of construction and maintenance of the state highways
taken by State Government.
The geometry design specifications and design speed for National
Highways and State Highways are the same.
The length of state highway roads varies from 7 m to 10 m.

3. Major District Roads (MDR)

The major district roads are one of the important roads which are located
within the district.
It serves an area of production and Markets and connecting these places
with each other or with the main highway.
The responsibility for construction and maintenance of major district
roads are associated with district authorities.
The state government gives grants for the development of major district
roads.

12
4. Other District Roads (ODR)

The roads serving ruler areas of production and providing them with

market centres, headquarters, and block development headquarters,

railway station, etc are known as Other district roads.

5. Village Roads (VR)

The roads connecting villages or groups of villages with each other or

with the nearest role of the higher category are known as village roads.

Village roads place a very important role in the development of rural

areas.

13
 3.Bombay Road Plan

Bombay city is the capital of Maharashtra state. It is one of

the metropolitan and second most populated cities in the world.

So that is very essential that there should be proper road Development

plan should be planned and implemented.

The 2nd 20 year road plan, also known as the Bombay Road plan, was

initiated by IRC (Indian Road Congress) in the year of 1959.

This second twenty-year road development plan was finalised for the

period of 1961-1981. It was popularly known as the Bombay Road plan.

The Development allowance for the Bombay road plan is of 5%.

The targeted road length for the Bombay road plan is almost double

as compared to the Nagpur road plan. The total length of the Bombay

road plan is 10,57,330 km or 32 km per 100 square km.

The Construction of the Express way of about 1600 km is also

included in the Bombay road plan.

 Classification of Road System by Third Road Development

Plan (1981-2001)
According to the third road development plan, the roads in the country
are classified into three classes, for the purpose of transport planning,
functional identification and assigning priorities on a road network :

 Primary System.
 Secondary System.
 Tertiary System.

1. Primary System :
 Express Ways
 National Highways (NH)
(a) Express Ways :
Express ways are a separate class of highways with superior facilities
and design standard and are meant as through routes having very high
volume of traffic. These highways should permit only fast moving
vehicles.

Express way may be owned by central government or a state

government depending on whether the route is a national highway or
state highway.

15
(b) National Highways (NH)

National Highways are the main highways which run through the length

and breadth of India and join the main parts, capital of states, and large

industrial and tourist centres which includes various roads required for a

strategic moment for the defence of India.

2. Secondary System :

The secondary system consists of two categories of roads

 State Highways (SH)

 Major District Roads (MDR)

3. Tertiary System :

The tertiary system are rural roads and these consists of two categories

of roads :

 Other District Roads (ODR)

 Village Roads (VR)

16
  Classification of Urban Roads :
The road system within urban areas are classified as urban roads. The
urban authorities are responsible to take care of these roads.Generally
the urban roads other than the express ways are classified as :

 Arterial Roads.
 Sub- Arterial Roads.
 Collector Streets.
 Local Streets.

1.Arterial Roads :
The streets primarily for through traffic on a continuous route, but with
high level of traffic mobility are known as arterial roads.

2.Sub- Arterial Roads :

The streets primarily for through traffic on a continuous route but have a
lower level of traffic mobility than the arterials are known as sub-arterial
roads.

3.Collector Street :
The streets which provides access to arterial streets and they collect and
distribute traffic from and to local streets is known as collector streets.

4.Local Street :
The streets which provides access to abutting streets are known as local
streets.

 6. Conclusion
Through The Micro Project We Got To Know About Three Road
Development Plan That Were Carried Out In The India From The Period
1943-2001 . It Was Successfully Done Under The Indian Road Congress
(IRC) Recommendation.
In This Road Development Plan System The First Plan Design And
Worked Was Nagpur Road Plan With Duration 1943-1963 , But Due To
Early Success
It Was Completed Two Year Earlier. The Density Of First Road Plan
Was 16km/100sq.Km Area , Classification According To This Road
Plan Was National Highway, State Highway , Major District Road ,
Other District And Village Road .
The Second Road Plan Was Bombay Road Plan With Duration 1961-
1981 And Density 32km/100sq.Km Area And Classification Was The
Same As Of Nagpur Road Plan
The Third Road Plan Was The Lucknow Road Plan With Duration
1981-2001 And Density 82km/100sq.Km Area . The Plan Was Prepared
For The Development And Preserve The Rural Areas . Population Over
500 Should Be Connected Under This Road Plan . The Classification Of
Third Road Development Plan Is Primarily, Secondary And Tertiary
Roads.
