Abstract

India is densely populated country and Madhya Pradesh is its one of the biggest state which is densely populated too. Vidisha near Bhopal the capital of Madhya Pradesh is noisy, congested, polluted, and typically disordered. The roads in the city are crowded and interrupted by several movements and actions. Bus services and local transportation facilities become progressively worse and their efficiency and quality of service have been declining thus inducing passengers to turn to personalized modes and IPTs. This turns in restricting the traffic flow and also putting the road users life in danger. The number of death rates in accidents or fatality rate is increasing year by year. During the year 2014 total number of registered accidents are high upto 943 in which 177 persons were dead . Pedestrian deaths as a percentage of all road fatalities are also extremely high. Also, the adult working age group (18 to 60 years) accounted for more than 80 percent of all casualties. Due to the development of localities, schools , hosiptals by the side of national highway(NH-86) passing through the centre of city it becomes the most crowded and accidental prone area of the city. other accidental prone areas of the city constitute of curves and squares such as curve at rangai village road and at sagar-Ahmedpur square. We suggest that individual road safety audit for these locations should be carried out by a multi-disciplinary team of experts to suggest corrective measures.
