ROAD TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT: BANGLADESH PERSPECTIVE
ABSTRACT
Road traffic accidents
and injuries have now emerged as a serious man-made epidemic with an estimated
1.3 million people killed and as many as 50 million injured worldwide each
year. Accidents are particularly prevalent in low and middle income countries-
around 85 percent of the world’s deaths occur in developing countries like
Bangladesh. More than half of the world’s traffic fatalities occur in the
Asian-Pacific region although only one in five motorized vehicles are
registered here. It is estimated that by 2020 about two-thirds of the world’s
traffic fatalities might be in the Asian-Pacific region. The road accidents
statistics and characteristics revealed that Bangladesh has one of the highest
fatality rates. About 70 percent of road accident fatalities occurred in rural
areas including rural sections of national highways. Almost 80 percent of
fatalities are vulnerable road users viz. pedestrians, bicyclists and
motorcyclists. Pedestrian-vehicle conflicts are clearly the greatest problem
with significant involvement of trucks and buses. The road factors are
particularly prevalent in accidents and it is well known that the systematic
road design and engineering improvements can prevent many such accidents and
save lives quickly and affordably. Indeed, road safety issue in Bangladesh thus
posits a considerable challenge to the road engineering professionals. In this
paper an attempt has been made to highlight the road safety issues and
priorities in Bangladesh with particular emphasis on the road safety
engineering challenges and opportunities.
