Abstract
Road safety is a critical issue that affects not just road authority, but the entire country. Road accidents are growing fast in developing countries such as India. It is mostly owing to a larger number of car accidents on Indian roadways. A questionnaire-based survey is used in this study to assess the behaviour, attitude, mistakes, and other characteristics of drivers travelling in Gorakhpur district, U.P. (India). From July to September 2021, the Gorakhpur district will be the site of this study. This questionnaire survey covers a wide range of issues, including driver age, vehicle type, traffic rule awareness, driving experience, accident reasons, and many more. The findings of this study suggest that automobile drivers are heavily implicated in the survey, with the majority of accidents occurring as a result of overseeding. Based on these findings, the study suggests that there is a need for traffic rule awareness programmes as well as training programmes for new drivers with less than two years of experience, which will lead to a reduction in the number of road accidents in the Gorakhpur District.
