The 'right of way' (ROW) for a National Highway as per NHAI/IRC standards is:
Choose the correct answer
10 m for all National Highways
45 m (2-lane), 60 m (4-lane), 90 m (6-lane) for National Highways in plains as per IRC standards
Only 5 m on each side of road
As decided locally by each state
Correct Answer
B. 45 m (2-lane), 60 m (4-lane), 90 m (6-lane) for National Highways in plains as per IRC standards
Why is this the answer?
ROW for National Highways: 4-lane divided (NH): ROW = 60 m in plains; 6-lane = 90 m. 2-lane NH: 45 m. Expressway: 90–120 m ROW. ROW includes: carriageway, median, shoulders, drains, service road, utility corridor. ROW is reserved land for future expansion. NHAI acquires ROW under NHAI Act/NHAA 1956. Urban NH may have reduced ROW due to constraints.
