The present study focuses on analysing the current state of safety measures at HWZs in Pakistan. ⋯ The results revealed that majority of the HWZs in Pakistan do not conform to any standard layout especially for safety and speed control measures. An enhanced need for special efforts towards improving safety at HWZs in Pakistan is highlighted.
