This study carries out a detailed analysis of Road Safety conditions at different junctions in Bengaluru. This study takes into account various factors both from Highway Engineering and Traffic Engineering. These factors govern the safety features of the roads. The factors include both the road attributes and the traffic data from various locations of which a detailed analysis is carried out. The project proceeds with a detailed data collection and analysis of the collected data using an analytical model designed by International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP). This model uses the data collection and analysis technique to generate a Star Rating System (SRS) which is effective in keeping a track of the Road safety features. The system is suitable for all types of road users in terms of their safety and is destined to reduce road accidents. This study is very much important to know the basic flaws in the structure as well as in traffic management in order to improve the traffic facilities in India.
