roads. Most of the speed breakers constructed
are not maintained continuously in proper
road worthy condition, thereby becoming
cause of accident rather than preventing it.

Copy of the drawing is attached as annexure for reference and new item for execution with five years continuous maintenance is introduced in PWD GSR 2023 for reference.
iii. Besides this, on either side of speed breaker, one row studs (Cat-eyes) be placed at one meter before the start of the approach ramp of speed breaker placed at 50 cms. c/c.
iv. On either side of speed breaker, advance signboards be installed indicating crossing speed of 25 kms./hr. and location of speed breaker at least 40 mts. from the speed breaker apart from separate signboard at the exact location of the speed breaker.

2. Maintenance:— The existing hump speed breakers which are meeting the criteria as per IRC 99-1988, which are further in 2 categories of 5.00 meter length for major roads and 3.70 meter length for minor roads, both with 10 centimeter height, need not be rectified to trapezoidal shape.
However the profile and such speed-breaker have to be repaired & renovated in case of any damage or wear & tear. Also such speed breakers are to be painted with thermoplastic OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT.

Policy on imposition of speed limit on roads in the State of Goa as Road Safety Assurance, 2023
This policy deals with imposition of Speed limits on all the roads of the State of Goa comprising of National Highways, State Highways, Major District Roads, other district roads and village roads.
Introduction.— The speed limit is the maximum speed at which a vehicle is legally permitted to travel, as within a specific area, on a certain road, or under given conditions. The speed limit on any road is one of the most important and integral part of the road safety. The density of vehicles plying on the roads in the State per population and per square kilometer surpasses national average. The vehicles used by tourists visiting the State also add to the traffic woes. The constant congestion during peak and off peak hours results in accidents and fatalities.
The one of the main reason of accidents has been identified as over-speeding on all types of roads which leads to uncontrollable situation particularly on narrow and curvy village roads which are more often used by tourists. Speed limits on roads in Goa are an important measure for improving road safety and reducing accidents and fatalities.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 38 21ST DECEMBER, 2023Objective.— The primary objective of this policy is to enhance road safety, reduce accidents/ fatalities, and improve overall traffic management by establishing appropriate speed limits on roads in Goa.
Applicability.— The criterion for imposition and implementation of speed limits on the roads are as follows:
• Classification of roads and No. of lanes.
• Road design and condition.
• Classification of vehicles.
• Safety of surrounding environment/special zones.
• Traffic density.
• Urban vs. rural areas.
The maximum speed limits are decided in a manner to permit a vehicle driver to have minimum sufficient sight distance in order to stop the vehicle in time & to prevent any collision taking place with other vehicles, pedestrians or structures. Therefore different roads and their different site conditions call for different speed limits are required.
MoRTH has recommended following maximum speeds depending upon the classification of road and vehicle which is reproduced as below:
