摘要：The problem of road accidents is very acute in highway transportation due to complex flow pattern ofvehicular traffic, presence of mixed traffic along with pedestrians. Traffic accidents lead to loss of life and property.Thus the traffic engineers have to undertake the responsibility for providing safe traffic movements to the road usersand ensure their safety. In this paper, an effort is made to identify the black spots on 18 km stretch between Jewel andAkhnoor in Jammu and Kashmir. The reasons for the accidents can be attributed to the lack of signage, raised mediancover with trees/bushes making pedestrians not visible to the driver, improper design of pedestrian crossing, frequentmedian openings, and lack of enforcement to control wrong side movements. Proper investigation of the cause ofaccidents was carried out and the data was analyzed. Finally new plan for each hotspot was proposed afterinterpretation of all the shortcomings.
