Technological processes for ensuring road safety on the roads of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region

Background. The main objective of the implementation of the National Project “Safe high-quality roads” of the Russian Federation is to improve the safety and quality of highways. This study provides a justification for the methods of installing longitudinal noise strips and an assessment of their impact on overall road safety. The results of this study can be used to develop effective recommendations for integrating these measures into the processes of designing and building highways. Aim. The purpose of this study is to select and substantiate the most rational way of installing longitudinal noise strips on highways. This study analyzes the relationship between the longitudinal noise band and the frequency of traffic accidents. The main purpose of this study is to study the relationship between the presence of a noise lane on the road and the frequency of traffic accidents. This study evaluates the impact of the noise band on the change in the risk of accidents and traffic violations. Methods. Various sections of the concentration of road accidents are considered on the basis of statistical data on highways of the technical category, on which measures have been implemented for the installation of longitudinal noise strips, allowing an analysis of their effectiveness. The features and recommendations regarding longitudinal noise strips on newly erected sections of highways are highlighted. Results. Taking the highways in the North-Western region as an example, the technology of installing longitudinal noise strips on highways has a benefit for road safety and economic efficiency.
