An investigation into the relationship between the rate of accidents, posted speed limit and road width.

Abstract

Road accident problem is one of the major concerns worldwide to deal with. Unfortunately, posted speed limit and road width represents a major component of road construction and allocating convenient parameters for each is essential to allow easy movements. Therefore, analyzing the rate of accident occurrence is a very important for the construction of road in relation with the posted speed limit and road width in order to have appropriate parameters to use for different section in road implemention where this report have been put into four chapters of introduction giving the background, problem statement, objectives, signification, scope and literative review, methodology outlining content of research design, approach, population sample, data collection methods, tools and data analysis, recommendations with clear procedures on how the research was carried out in order to obtain the findings about the results of accident rates, posted speed limit and road widths for each section with the regression analysis results drawing the correlation coefficients to study the relationship between the parameters, conclusion from the findings of the study and recommendation about what should be done.
