INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION:

India is the second largest nation in the world, with a

population of 1.21 billion, accounting for 18% of worlds

population.
According to WHO, motor vehicle crashes kill about 1.25

million people each year and more than 50 million people

are injured.

Traffic facilities ; proxy of motor vehicle,

population,

 The main cause of death among persons aged 5-29

years; pedestrains and motorcyclists.

According to the comprehensive report presented
by the WHO, 90% of the road fatalities occur in
developing countries and fourth-fifths of those
killed in such circumstances are people who were
not in cars (WHO 2002).

OBJECTIVES:
To collect the data from the police station, on

the basis of which the accident zone was

selected.
To conduct the baseline survey at the selected
zone.
To analyze the existing condition of the zone.
To establish the main cause for accidents and
provide reduction measures that can be adopted.

CONCLUSION:
From the observations made by the conduction of various
studies at the selected black spot on the NH 275, we can
conclude that;
Swarnasandra zone : operating condition
unsuitable flow
number of accidents
maintaining the speed limits
Nanda circle zone : high traffic volume
pedestrian volume
accident rate
maintenance of the traffic signals.
Sanjaya circle zone : stable traffic flow
radius of horizontal curve
heart of the city
pavement has to be made time to time.
