Traffic Count Surveys of RAP1 Corridors

Purpose and method
With an aim to analyse the RAP1 roads vehicle usage and maintenance conditions traffic surveys are conducted every month and the estimated total travelling speed for a 4-wheel drive vehicle is measured to give some indication of road condition..

The average speed of vehicles of most road corridors is comparatively low. For earthen roads in good condition in mountainous regions the average speed would be approximately 25 km/hr.
