Accidents are a drain on the national economy and may lead to disablement, death, damage to health and property, social suffering and general degradation of environment. To minimize the no of crashes by any kind and severity expected to occur on the entity during a specific period is known as road safety. Accidents and the fatalities on road are the result of inter-play of a number of factors. Road users in India are heterogeneous in nature, ranging from pedestrians, animal- driven carts, bi- cycles, rickshaws, hand carts and tractor trolleys, to various categories of two/three wheelers, motor cars, buses, trucks, and multi-axle commercial vehicles etc., The vehicle population has been steadily increasing because of change in the style of living of people. Increase in vehicle population with limited road space used by a large variety of vehicles has heightened the need and urgency for a well thought-out policy on the issue of road safety. In India the rate of accident is directly proportional to growth of vehicle population. Road accidents are a human tragedy, which involve high human suffering. They impose a huge socio-economic cost in terms of untimely deaths, injuries and loss of potential income. The ramifications of road accidents can be colossal and its negative impact is felt not only on individuals, their health and welfare, but also on the economy. The objective behind the study was to determine the flaws in selected road and justify the blind spots and provide its rectifications. The research even recommended road safety features in selected case study for Sagar and analysis was done for the selected road along with connecting junctions. Stretch I have the second highest no of accidents accounts for 32.5% of total accident. The Accident rate can be reduced by providing signalized junction, junction improvement, and shoulder Clearance, installation of humps, shifting of poles, removal of trees near the edge of pavement etc. No of accidents in stretch II accounts for 29.6% of total accidents. The accident rate can be Minimized by clearing-off shoulders, reducing speed limit, junction improvement, providing Signals on the median, shifting structures on the shoulder. Stretch III has minimum no of accidents accounts for 3.7% of total accidents. Speed limit reduction near junction should be reduced to prevent accident.
