The role of highway departments in Iraq has been to large extent limited to examine the roads for maintenance and rehabilitation purposes whenever funds are available. Maintenance works should be conducted periodically and without delays; otherwise, the needed fund may be increased swiftly. The essential need for reviewing, assessing and maintaining roads requires continuous provision of fund. As a result, applying new alternative management system that ensure non-stopping fund is a necessity. The private sector can effectively involve in financing roads projects in direct investment or in partnership with the public sector. In this research, the Basra-Nasiriya expressway highway was evaluated to assess its current status in terms of road condition, signs, furnishing, existing services and maintenance procedures. The data included in this study was obtained from two resources; the first is primary from conducting two questionnaire-based surveys to collect opinions and knowledge from road users and experts. Field inspection survey was also performed.The experts indicated that the lowest acceptable level is 3.5, thus the road is close to reaching a level that beyond it a maintenance should be performed. Since the main problem is to find an effective management system that allows the provision of the necessary funds and hence ensure continuous maintenance, a toll road system has been proposed to collect fees from road users. Finally, this system was found to be acceptable at 87% of the surveyed sample. It was also confirmed that the legal basis for applying this system is available in Iraqi law and its prevailing legislations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
