MoRTH has formulated a rating mechanism for national highways

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has released the ratings for 18,668 km of completed four/six-lane national highway stretches, covering 343 toll plazas. Each toll plaza has been judged based on three major criteria including efficiency, safety and user services. These criteria were further subdivided into 39 parameters including average speed, road condition, service road, delay at toll plaza, accidents, incident response time, wayside amenities and general cleanliness. In this first-ever ranking of national highway stretches carried out by NHAI, the Ahmedabad-Vadodara section of NH-48 has been rated the best national highway followed by the Goa/Karnataka border-Kundapur corridor in Karnataka.
