The methodology used is descriptive research<br> design. Based on the study the main cause for the accidents is found to be human factor particularly<br> related with over speeding of drivers. Other factors like infrastructure, environment and vehicular<br> factor contributed less than 10% of the accidents. The main victims of the accidents are pedestrians<br> that are youth working groups of the society aged 18-30. To reduce the problem the government<br> has set different institutions and legislations. However, the number of accidents has shown no sign<br> of decrease over the past five years. The lack of proper knowledge on traffic safety, research based<br> legislation, poor enforcement of the legislation, lack of coordination and inadequate emergency<br> medical services contributed for the increasing number of accidents. By looking at the gaps of<br> some of the legislative, institutional and policy measures of the government policy<br> recommendations are given to reduce the extent of the problem.</p></description> </descriptions> </resource>
