Abstract

Now days road safety becomes a worldwide concern. Similarly Road safety risk has been a major issue in the study area (Metu- Yayo road segment). The successful assessments of road safety inspection within the study area are very essential to minimize future road accidents faced by the entire road user. The study were started by examining the current condition of the road using road safety inspection manual then it used focus group judgments and it is analyzed by analytical hierarchical process method based pairwise comparison in identification of contributing factors for the road safety risk using two levels of Analytical Hierarchical process, and four major factors i.e. pavement surface condition, road geometry condition, road side environment condition, road traffic control condition, and also it tries to prioritize the road section to identify the road with better facilities and the road in the worst condition. During road safety inspection in the study area the road experience early stages of pavement distresses, road traffic sign related problems, sight distance obstruction, and soil slide related problems this in turn speeds up the road safety risk and increases the occurrence of road traffic accidents. As a result, this study concluded, road traffic control factors were the most significant factors which contributes to the occurrences of road safety risk. In comparison, Lakosaya to Yayo road section is the found in a better condition, but the road section from Mechi to Lakosaya is found in worse condition in the study area.
