TRANSCRIPT
In Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, the World Bank transport teamhas been working with the municipal road developmentauthority and the transport police to streamline road safetyconsiderations in the road infrastructure asset planning andmanagement within a GRSF-financed technical assistance.
SAFER MUNICIPAL ROADINFRASTRUCTURE INITIATIVE
The GRSF support is complemented by a GFDRR-financedactivity to introduce an efficient and systematic roadasset inventorying and management informationsystem incorporating both road safety and climate riskconsiderations for the municipal roads in Ulaanbaatar.
Under the GRSF support,road sections in the city withdef icient basic roadinf rastructure assets such astraff ic signs, road markingsand street lighting —that areessential for road safety—are visualized in correspondingcolor-codes.
This information will be included in thegeo-referenced municipal road infrastructureasset inventory to provide inputs to theprioritization of road repair and maintenanceworks in the city, helping to minimize roadsafety risks.
CAPACITYBUILDING
The GRSF-financed technicalassistance also supportscapacity building of thecounterparts in the areas of roadsafety engineering and roadsafety audits. The WB teamorganized a series of workshopsand onsite inspections for themunicipal road developmentauthority and transport policesince October 2018.

The road safety risk mapping will enable the municipalroad development authority to allocate the scarceresources to the most cost-effective measures such asimproving traffic signs and markings and address the roadinfrastructure deficiencies in the high-risk road sections(e.g. black spots) in the city road network.
