Abstract— This paper include social and economical aspects concern road safety. Road vehicular accidents have been so frequent and common to everyday life that people tend to disregard that these "high velocity moving lumps of metal" are very lethal and sometimes pose as "weapons of mass destruction". The problem in road safety transcends the transport sector. It is a health, social, and economic problem as well. Families are displaced and their futures shattered because of the sudden demise of their breadwinners, which is a social welfare problem. The scale and magnitude of the effects of road accidents on the lives of the people involved and the society in general must be clearly defined for purposes of raising awareness and as an input to the planning and evaluation of the government's road safety intervention measures.
