Abstract

Road traffic accidents along the Nalaikh–Ulaanbaatar road have raised serious concerns regarding the adequacy of existing safety measures, particularly the effectiveness of safety railings. This research investigates the structural integrity and performance of these railings with the aim of enhancing road safety and reducing accident severity. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, including on-site assessments, consultations with local authorities and road safety experts, and an in-depth review of international safety railing standards. The evaluation reveals that while the current railings comply with certain Mongolian national standards, they fall short in effectively mitigating accident impacts due to shortcomings in design, material durability, and maintenance practices. Based on these findings, the study proposes a series of improvements, drawing on advanced international design standards and advocating for stricter maintenance protocols. These recommendations aim to improve the railings’ ability to prevent vehicles from veering off the roadway, thereby contributing to a safer commuting environment along this critical transportation corridor.
