Abstract - Road safety is still an important issue with road
state road development corporation (MSRDC). The expressway spans approximately 701 kilometers and is designed to reduce travel time between Mumbai and Nagpur significantly. It is planned as a 8-lane (expandable to 12 lanes), greenfield expressway with a design speed of 150160 kilometers per hour.
accidents among the leading causes of death accounting for more than 1.2 million fatalities and 20 to 50 million injuries globally per year. The paper begins by defining road accidents and highlighting their prevalence across different regions It delves into the various factors contributing to road accidents, including human factors such as driver behavior, vehiclerelated factors such as mechanical failure, and environmental factors such as adverse weather conditions.
A total of 1,282 accidents have taken place on the expressway since December 2022, of which 2 accidents involving 67 vehicles during this period have resulted in 135 deaths. In the nine months since Samruddhi Mahamarg opened to traffic, nearly 48 lakh vehicles have plied on a 600-km stretch from Nagpur to Bharvir in Igatpuri.
Furthermore, the paper examines the wide-ranging consequences of road accidents, encompassing loss of life, injuries, economic costs, and psychological trauma. It underscores the profound societal impact of road accidents, underscoring the strain they place on healthcare systems, transportation infrastructure, and the economy. In addressing the challenge of road accidents, the paper identifies key preventive measures and interventions aimed at mitigating their occurrence and reducing their harm.
Two major accidents caused 37 of these deaths. In one accident, a private AC sleeper bus caught fire after the drunk driver lost control in July in that 25 people died, while on October 15, 12 people died and 23 others were injured. Expressed way witnesses three accidents in every day.
