Factors Influencing Alarming Rate of Road Accidents in Bangladesh

In Bangladesh, road accident is a common occurrence. It is difficult to envision a day when there is no road accident. A large number of people are killed or injured in road accidents every year. Despite the fact that it has become a matter of concern, this problem receives very little attention, and the steps taken to address it are insufficient. However, identifying the factors that influence a problem is a prerequisite for solving it. This paper is an attempt to review various influencing factors and statistics connected to road accidents that happened in Bangladesh using numerous documents, reports, articles, and internet sources. Different studies have shown that there is no single cause for the growing prevalence of these accidents. Road accidents are caused by a variety of factors, but not all of them are equally responsible; certain factors are widespread, while others are unusual. Since this is a worrying and increasing problem in Bangladesh, it is important to address it through a comprehensive and holistic approach. It is expected that this paper would help in raising awareness by utilizing pertinent information about the cause of the accident and reducing it to a minimum.
