Road transportation is considered one of the most essential factors for the growth of a country. Due to the exponential growth in population and fast urbanization, the existing roadway facilities are facing a huge surge in vehicle growth. But this development is also accompanied by the concerning growth of road crashes. To mitigate road crashes, one needs to identify the potential risk factors involved with them. This requires detailed accident data, which is sometimes difficult to acquire and in addition, there is a high probability of accidents in many places due to various hazardous situations, but there may not be an accident record yet. Road Safety Audit is an alternative approach that can overcome these obstacles. Hence, the present study has attempted to highlight various risk factors involved with road crashes for four different road facilities type, viz. Straight, intersection, curve, and road with culvert and flyovers (RCF) by conducting the Road Safety Audit for 216 black spots. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was performed on the data collected from the audit process to determine the weightage of involvement of each factor in road crashes and identify the most significant ones.
