Abstract

An accident black spot is a term used in road
safety management to denote a place where road
traffic accidents have historically been

of reasons, such as a sharp drop or corner in a
straight road, so oncoming traffic is concealed, a
hidden junction on a fast road, poor or
concealed warning signs at cross-roads.
Transportation contributes to the economic,
industrial, social and cultural development of
any country. Transportation by road is the only
mode which could give maximum service to one
and all. Due to the increase in population,
number of vehicles is increasing day by day
