Government data shows about 400 persons where died every day in year 2015 and there is one death at every 3.75 minutes because of road accidents. The high accident rate is largely considered to the inadequacy of the highways and other main roads to meet the traffic demands, road user behaviour, vehicular defects, poor road geometrics and inadequate visibility.
