    Abstract :

    India is a leading developing country and road safety is still in a premature stage. Accident severity is growing in rapid order due to increasing in vehicle population. Accident leads to disablement, damage to health and property, death of human or animals’ social suffering and general degradation of environment. The road accident situation in India is vibrating. Records from year 2014 show that there is one death at every 3.75 minutes because of road accidents. The high accident rate is largely considered to the inadequacy of the highways and other main roads to meet the traffic demands, road user behaviour, vehicular defects, poor road geometrics and inadequate visibility. Road accidents results in heavy wealth loss to the country. Road Safety is necessary to reduce accident involving both human element and vehicles there by developing the road safer and user friendly to traffic.In Madhya Pradesh state area around our district headquarter Khargone roads has major connectivity and there are not big industries but these road carries large numbers of passengers to industrial area of Indore and Gujarat.
