Abstract

Thousands of people die every day and thousands more are injured as a result of road accidents around the world, leading to massive loss of life, as well as severe social and economic damage. With a clear increase in the number of vehicles and their various uses, they now bring with them a number of problems and damages, such as traffic congestion and the associated pressure on drivers and pedestrians, wasting time, environmental pollution, as well as traffic accidents and the resulting human, material and social losses.This paper examines the number of road accidents in the municipality of Sabha in the period from 2001-2021 to determine their causes. Determining the size of the problem and its degree of seriousness, knowing ways and methods to avoid accidents and proposing a mechanism to help reduce them. In order to achieve the purposes of the study, the descriptive analytical approach was used. Noting that the available database is insufficient in providing detailed data on accidents in accordance with recognized standards locally and internationally, and despite the observed decline in the number of accidents in the period after the year 2016, the accident severity indicators for every 100 accidents are trending higher than they were previously, and for this reason Concerned authorities must have a system for recording accident data and complete all the data necessary to analyze the traffic accident. Traffic awareness must also be spread among various segments of society to raise the level of traffic safety on the roads in of Sabha.
