Suraj Kumar,

In 2015, India became a signatory to on Road Safety, where itBrasilia Declaration

committed to reduce 50 % of its road crash deaths by 2020. In India, road crashes kill about 1,50,000

person every year. In Maharashtra, over 13,000 deaths occur due to road traffic collisions while over 20,000

people sustain non-fatal injuries from such accidents. These injuries are often, responsible for causing

various kinds of disabilities. Loss of Life and property due to traffic accidents also negatively affects gross

national productivity, impacting the economy at macro levels.

The continual increase in vehicular population and capacity limitations of existing road networks,

carriageways have resulted in immense challenges in traffic management, especially in cities. The

challenge of preventing accident is very acute in highway transportation due to complex flow patterns of

vehicular traffic; mixed traffic along with pedestrians; noncompliance of traffic riles; road infrastructure

issues etc which aggravate the situation. These are causative factors leading to accidents, road rages,

flare-ups and altercations among/ between road users and enforcements authorities.

'Road Accidents in Maharashtra -2018', provides statistical information on Road Accidents and

reasons thereby of such mishaps in urban and rural areas. I hope the information helps the Police Force to

develop strategic and tactical plan for reducing road accidents and fatalities. It will also help all

stakeholders like road engineers in identifying accident-prone areas and implement requisite short-term

and long-term measures to eliminate primary causes.

Breakthrough technologies and innovative application need to be harnessed to provide safer roads,

at optimal costs. Deploying data sciences and analytics to understand and interpret nuances of the endless

information at our disposal made available through this statistical presentation will help us in taking the first

step in bringing about the much desired change in curbing fatalities on road.
