Abstract: Educational institutions like Amity University, Noida contribute significantly to Noida's aesthetic vibrancy. however, its large student population also leads to increased traffic flow in the surrounding areas. This can create a complex traffic environment potentially compromising road safety for students, faculty, staff and the general public. This research project aims to investigate road safety and traffic awareness around the institution with particular focus on the nearby Mahamaya flyover, the Noida- Greater Noida Expressway and its service roads which is adjoining the University perimeter. Road accidents are a significant public health concern in India. According to a report by the Union Road Transport Ministry, in 2022, the amount of road accidents jumped by 11.9 per cent within a year with over 4.61 lakh accidents being reported out of which 1.68 lakh deaths took place. Understanding and addressing traffic issues around educational institutions is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring the safety of the university community. This study will explore several key aspects related to road safety and traffic awareness in the vicinity of Amity University. One of the primary things that will be looked after are traffic patterns around the institution by analysing traffic volume, peak hours and the types of vehicles present in the area. The study will also assess the adequacy of infrastructural measures such as crossings, signage and road markings in these areas. The study will also involve evaluating the effectiveness of existing traffic management strategies, such as the presence of traffic department personnel, adequate parking facilities and initiatives conducted by the university itself. Focus will also be put on Mahamaya flyover which is a vital traffic junction that facilitates movement between South Delhi and Noida. Similarly, the Noida-Greater Nodia Expressway serves as a high-speed corridor connecting major commercial and residential areas. However, these high-traffic areas can pose unique challenges for road safety such as lane management, vulnerability of pedestrians and cyclists and over speeding. By analysing these factors, our research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of road safety ad traffic awareness around Amity university, Noida. The findings will be used to develop targeted recommendations for improving the existing infrastructure, traffic management strategies and promoting safe road user behaviour.
