MTMP Background in the context of Nepal
Population growth and rapid urbanization have
become the greatest noteworthy scenario in the context of the local level (Municipal) development
in Nepal. With the increase in population,
provision of well-planned and
well-managed such infrastructure for
urban development has become a challenge, and the local authority is unable to
provide required infrastructures, thus proper managed urbanization and urban
road network plan is required.
What is MTMP/R-MTMP?
Municipal Transport Master Plan (MTMP) is the process of identification, classification, and prioritization of roads within the municipality; construction, upgrading, maintenance, and rehabilitation of prioritized roads based on approved criteria with the calculation of financial budget
Why MTMP?
In Nepal, most of the roads are earthen and
do not have well-planned road
linkage. We engineer must think about the
future of traffic management and mobility of the urban areas.
Thus, additional plans and policies are required.
MTMP is one of the important documents for the smooth,
safe, economic, easy access, traffic management, and construction of road-based infrastructures. The major
necessary points are:
v
Development of Municipal Road Asset Management
System.
v
Allocation
of Budget in Urban road according to Plan.
v
Planning
document which helps to get aid from central government, province govt.,
foreign aids for funding.
v
5-year Investment Plan
v
Planning Documents
v
Help to
develop metric addressing system, building bye-laws,
etc.

Study Objective in
the Context of Nepal
v To prepare the Municipal Transport Master Plan (MTMP).
v
To collect demands for new/rehabilitation transport linkages from R-Municipality/ Settlements
v
To analyse the accessibility
situation.
v
To identify and prioritize.
v
To prepare Indicative
Developmental Potential Map (IDPM).
v
To prepare the Municipal
Inventory Map (MIM)
of Road networks.
v
To prepare the Perspective Plan
of transport services and facilities.
v
To develop scoring criteria and
their approval from Municipality.
v
To prepare the five years Municipal Transport
Master Plan (MTMP)
v
To prepare a realistic physical
and financial implementation plan of prioritized roads for the MTMP period; and
v
To prepare Municipal Transport
Perspective Plan (RMTPP).
Scope of the Study
v
Assist in the formulation of
the Municipal Roads Coordination Committee (MRCC).
v
Secondary Sources of
Information and Review of the existing MTMP.
v
Accessibility data collection
and analysis.
v
Road classification and
nomenclature.
v
Analyse fund availability for
Roads.
v
Prepare a realistic Physical
and Financial Implementation Plan of prioritized roads for the MTMP
implementation period.
Expected Output of
the Study
v
Study of existing road networks
and mobility situations.
v
Analysis of additional and
potential road networks.
v
Prepare existing road network
inventory maps and develop location maps.
v
Road grading, coding,
prioritization with the nomenclature of each road network.
v
Develop 5-
Year horizon road inventory development plan.
v
Develop 5-Year horizon budget development plan.
v
Development of final GIS road
inventory plan maps.

Formulation of Road
Network Hierarchy
There are some different levels of road
hierarchy in India and Nepal Such as:
v Indian Road Congress (IRC) has classified urban roads into four class: Arterial, Sub-Arterial,
Collector and Local Street.
v NRS 2070 has classified road in four types that includes Class I, II, III and IV roads based on technical/functional classification, and highlight the fact that these class are almost equivalent with expressways, arterial roads, collector roads and local roads respectively.
v NURS 2076 has classified urban roads into five categories, i.e. Expressway,
Arterial, Sub-Arterial, Collector and local roads.

Proposed Row (It may vary with Urban to Urban Area)
The Nepal Road Standard 2070 has proposed roads under category of National Highway (NH), Feeder Roads (FR), District Roads (DRCN) and Urban Road within the municipality area. The RoW of these roads are considered as per respective Guidelines. i.e the RoW of National Highways, Feeder Roads and District Roads are 50.0 m, 30.0 m and 20.0 m respectively. The guideline has clearly stated about the setback distance for these roads (having RoW ≥ 20.0) as 6.0 m on either side. All of these standards shall be applied to the rural municipality accordingly.
v The RoW is width of land to be acquired for the road along its
alignment.
v Brief discussion with Municipal Road Co-Ordination Committee.
v Participation of Local people.
v Share an examples of Kathmandu, Butwal City.
