Road traffic accidents and fatalities have emerged as a serious problem over the world, as well as in India. Though National Highways (NHs) comprise less than 2% of the entire road network, they account for more than 35% of total traffic fatalities. In this regard, this study aims to identify and prioritize the hazardous locations on a 4-lane NH, find out the major risk factors, and recommend short-term and long-term countermeasures. Hazardous locations on a stretch on NH-2 were identified and prioritized through a comprehensive analysis of past accident data; based on total crash count (TCC), fatal crash count (FCC), and equivalent property damage only (EPDO) values. Probable risk factors such as illegal truck parking, insufficient storage lanes, improper pedestrian crossing facilities, design deficiencies at unsignalized minor junctions, etc. were identified from site visits. This study also recommends necessary crash mitigation and prevention strategies.
