Punjab adopted this definition for the entire state of Punjab covering all Highways and undertaken this task of identification and rectification of accidental black spots in the state of Punjab. Definition of Black spot (MoRTH): According to Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH), Government of India, road accident black spot on National Highways is a road stretch of about 500m in length in which either 5 road accidents (involving fatalities/grievous injuries) took place during last three calendar years or 10 fatalities took place during last three calendar years. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, GoI, hazardous locations are evaluated based on Accidents severity index (ASI). Hazardous spots with Accidents Severity Index (ASI) more than the Threshold value (Average Severity + 1.5 x Standard Deviation) will be treated as Black spot. For estimation of ASI, the weight to fatal accident will be assigned as 7 and to grievous injury accident as 3, was considered based on NHAI's criteria. The threshold value computation formula for first order, second order, third order, fourth and fifth-order priority black spots are given in Table 2. Table 2: Threshold value of priority black spots. Priority Threshold value First-order black spots Average Severity + 1.5 x Standard Deviation Second-order black spots Average Severity + Standard Deviation Third-order black spots Average Severity + 0.5 x Standard Deviation Fourth-order black spots Average Severity Fifth order black spots Below Average Severity 1.2.
