has the highest rate of fatal accidents. The development of a growing country's infrastructure is increasingly being threatened by road accidents. Road safety is another crucial factor that requires special attention along with the advancement of any country. More road accidents were reported on state and federal highways, which has a significant negative economic impact (approximately up to cores). To create appropriate steps to increase road safety, disaster areas must be identified. GIS are extensively used in the realm of transportation. Based on the spatial characteristics of that area, blackspot identification aids in determining the causes of accidents so that precautionary actions can be done to minimize the accident rate. This study seeks to identify the blackspot regions of NH-209 using the weighted severity index approach (WSI) and to locate the blackspots using Spatial Analysis. In the absence of an appropriate framework for analyzing accident-related data and producing solutions for the same using current tools & techniques in urban, semi-urban, or rural settings, WHO's primary worry regarding accident prevention in a third world nation is further amplified. This work makes an effort to provide tools for data analysis that can aid in prioritizing the study of areas that have the greatest accident rates.
to the rise in traffic accidents and related fatalities around the world in recent decades. Despite our dedication and efforts, road accidents remain a major cause of death, functional limitations, and institutionalization in the nation. India is top among some of the 199 countries in terms of the number of fatal crashes, and it is liable for nearly 11% of all accident-related death globally.

1.1 ROAD SAFETY AUDIT: Road safety auditing is a standardized method for assessing accident rates and safety audits in the design of new projects or programs, the rehabilitation and improvement of existing roads, and in the maintenance of roads. The FHWA fosters RSAs on roadways and intersections as well as works with local and state governments tribal governments, and other stakeholders to include RSAs into project planning for road improvements and intersections. Key elements for RSA: • The following are main elements for doing an efficient RSA;
analysis,
• Functionality of the RSA-related organization • Team selection; Choosing a team, conducting the audit work, and reviewing and pinpointing problematic spots.
1. INTRODUCTION A road is a linear track for oncoming traffic that typically has an enhanced surface for use by pedestrians and vehicles of all sorts, especially motorized ones. Roads fulfill the function of transportation more so than streets do. People rely heavily on roads to get from one place to another, such as from their homes to schools, universities, healthcare facilities, offices, etc. Roads help trade, business, and agriculture, all of which boost employment and national GDP. The main highway networks that often connect cities and communities. Commuter roads are where events happen more frequently and in larger populations.

• Recommendations for Action. 1.2 Road Safety Audit in India: In India, there may not yet be any formal requirements for the implementation of road safety measures. India is now realizing the importance of RSA. Therefore, MORTH financed the 'Development of RSA for existing sectors' project at CRRI in April 2002. The RSA on NH-2 engineering design was given to CRRI by the NHAI. The
