Abstract
Description
According to the World Health Organization’s 2015 global status report [1] on road safety, nearly 1.25 million people are killed in road accidents each year, and millions more suffer serious injuries with long-term adverse health consequences. In Sri Lanka, after 2010 there was a noticeable decline in road traffic fatality rates, yet in 2013 Sri Lanka remained above the WHO projected Southeast Asia regional average of 17 deaths per million population per year [1]. In this study, we carried out a micro-level analysis of accidents occurred on two major intercity highways (A001 and A004) in Sri Lanka.
