GENERAL DIRECTORATE OF HIGHWAYS Road Safety Activities
To eliminate accident black spots and road sections with high accidents risks, road safety audit has been conducted for the geometrical elements of planned road projects since 2004. The projects which are deemed appropriate for road safety are also controlled in terms of traffic safety equipment (vertical signs, horizantal markings, guardrails).

Road Work Zone
In order to reduce the number of road accidents which occur on road construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation sites, especially on the road sections in which dual carriageway merge into two-way roads and traffic flow converts into two-way, it is aimed to improve traffic safety on these sites by means of a more efficient marking and physical arrangements.
