There are factors that lead to road accident.

of alcohol or drugs feeling sleepy, carelessly distracted, pot whole,
driving with uncorrected vision or hearing.

Unsafe

worn-out tires, over loading and driver without light at night is also
one of the major features of road accident is a high proportion of
severe multiple injuries, gotten. However motor accident rate may
constitute a growing problem in our society, perhaps scrunching of
traffic regulation equipment facilities shall be improved the state.
1.2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In
the past, in the time of our fore father the rate of road accident was
very small because they were uncivilized; there was very few motor
vehicles, good road etc.
In this modern time, there is
hardly a day without accident, go to road safety office, and see the
number of people that is being hospitalized, mainly the value of goods
lost by Enugu – Onitsha Express accident victims, not to talk of those
that have lost their limes because of accident that occur on this road.
At this juncture, one may ask at what season of the year or month
people normally have accident, and what factors influence the road
accident and how many people may be admitted into the hospital or the
value of crude deaths rate will it not increase from day to day on this
road in future.
Awareness of all these things may make the
government to know how much to budget for maintain of these road or
maintenance of road facilities, provision of emergency services and how
best to control road accident and suppress it to the lowest rate of
occurring.
Nowadays, it appears that the tendency of accident occurring is greater than it was in the previous decades.
New invention is the main factors that attribute to it many people are
miss using it. Also illiteracy of the drivers. Lack of vehicle
maintenance, bad roads, one way traffic inexperience etc.
Against this background, I decided to carry out a study on the value of
accident rate in Enugu – Onitsha Express Road in order to investigate
some of the above maintained issues.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]The aim of this project is to analyze the appraisal of road traffic accident rate on Enugu – Onitsha Express Road. The data on the number of recorded road traffic accident rate on Enugu – Onitsha Express road from 1995 – 2002 was collected and organized on quarters. The trend equation was calculated from the date, which follows linear trend with the trend values, the seasonal indexes for the four seasons of the year was calculated. ... Continue reading---
