An analysis of accident data recorded between 2004-2008. The causes of these accidents stem from different elements namely; the vehicle operator, weather, poor road conditions, age of vehicle, time duration and mechanical failure. Strategies for preventing road traffic accidents are suggested. Among all the proposed strategies to ensure a reasonable degree of safety on the Raipur-Chhatisgarh state Rajdhani highways, the introduction of driver and traffic safety education into the Raipurian school system is the most potent education and that aspect of general education which should be provided at the secondary and tertiary levels of education to help students and other individuals learn to use motor vehicles safely and efficiently. There is a necessity of highway patrol with a chain of Traffic Aid Centers at intervals of 30-50Km on highways equipped with ambulance, crane, patrol vehicle and enforcement staff with their equipments to regulate traffic and provide medical assistance to victims of accidents within the first hour of accident. Speed governing system must be incorporated in the vehicles provided for the teenagers.Vehicles should have inbuilt warning system for minimum distance between two vehicles to avoid collision.
