Abstract
The paper reviews about the road traffic accident data analysis that have
been turned out to be huge global public health as well as development
problem. In UK, it has rapidly increased the rate of accidents and deaths in
relation to large number of vehicles on the road. Also realizing that required
to establish an effective baseline information on this study.
The review the paper and realized that road traffic accidents not only
harm the persons involved in the accident. But it also affecting on the while
economy of nation. The A- ROAD OF UK is a technically advanced
country. As per current statistics, almost 38.4 million cars run every day on
the roads of the A- ROAD OF UK. However, all the cars do not follow the
road safety rules properly and the number of car accidents is continuously
increasing in the A-roads of the A- ROAD OF UK (statista.com. 2018).
Heavy vehicles and goods carriage vans are mostly involved in accident
cases. Sometimes fatal accidents lead to serious injuries of all persons
involved in the accidents. The increasing number of traffic accidents also
affects the growth of theA- ROAD OF UK economy. Therefore, it is
important to identify the main reasons behind the increasing number of
7

traffic accidents in the A- ROAD OF UK along with its impact on the
economy of the A- ROAD OF UK and the health and wellbeing of the A-
ROAD OF UK citizens. In case of road service condition the p-value came
out to be 0.04 which is found to be most significant independent variable
that is able to render impact in changing the intensity of road accidents in
the A-roads of A- ROAD OF UK. Recommendations are drawn over the
fact that it is highly essential to police officer that should be present in
accident prone zones. Secondly there is higher importance to the light
conditions in the night or in Sub-urban areas which requires significant
improvement. The road service conditions in the roads of A- ROAD OF UK
should also be improved in order to avoid the intensity of accidents which
are found to get lowered after 2017 and onwards.
