In India, where there is a vast population and a high vehicle traffic density, road accidents are a particularly important issue. The majority of road accident occurs as a result of driver negligence, with only a few accidents occurring as a result of vehicle technical error. In the present study, a section of 10.6 km in length was chosen between Ghumarwin to kuthera on State Highway-19 for the identification of traffic volume and accidental studies. On 14 days, the peak traffic flow on State Highway-19 was observed at both side traffic flow counts. The process involved making a manual count of the vehicles passing on state highway-19. The study was also involved in identifying the ‘Black Spot’, which refers to those stretches on Ghumarwin to Kuthera of State Highway-19 with the highest number of accidents. Primary data is used for observing the road conditions, and secondary data is used to find accident black spots. An accident black spot is a point or a place on the road where road accidents repeatedly occur one after another, which is known as an accident black spot. The accident data for the study area has been collected for the past two years at Police Station Ghumarwin. To identify these black spots, we use the Weighted Severity Index (WSI) Method for determining the most proven accident black spots. The state highway-19 is in a hilly area and it has blind curves and black spots that increase the chance of road traffic accidents. In the past two years, road traffic accidents have been increasing on state highway-19 between Ghumarwin to Kuthera, and this study deals with the identification of major issues causing road traffic accidents. The research work helps to improve the road safety on State Highway-19 between Ghumarwin to Kuthera because in this study the analysis has been done to identify the major problem responsible for gradually increasing road accidents. We calculate the accident density and accident rate in the region of ‘Black Spot’ and, based upon those results, suggest suitable remedial measures to prevent such accidents in the future by installing light poles, speed breakers, fluorescent sign boards, convex mirrors, and sign boards on the road, to help prevent accidents like this in the future. For other researcher who wishes to conduct their own research on problems of similar kind, the research work serves as an overview.
