Abstract:
Road accidents are therefore an unexpected phenomenon that occurs as a result of the operation of
vehicles and which causes major harm to the people. The number of road accidents is increasing
day by day. The objective of this paper is to examine the existing legal framework in Bangladesh
concerning road safety and identify potential areas that could be developed. The study revealed
that the existing legal system in Bangladesh incorporates multiple provisions with the objective of
enhancing road safety. However, these laws lack efficient enforcement methods and there are
limited penalties for those who violate traffic rules. This paper also briefly discusses a concise
analysis of the factors that contribute to the occurrence of accidents in relation with the road
environment, road users, and vehicles. It also outlines specific actions that should be prioritized to
prevent these recurring losses. It is also suggested to ensure effective execution of road safety
measures.
