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.
