Kerala has the second highest traffic related accidents in India, a study has found.
On an average there are over 40,000 accidents and 3000 accident related deaths every year, the National Transport Planning and Research Centre at Thiruvananthapuram says. The state of Maharashtra leads India's accident chart. During the last decade in Kerala the number of accidents has tripled and the number killed in accidents has doubled. The accident figures in the southern state are twice the national average. Source:NDTV |

The maximum number of killer highways are in Maharashtra with government estimates stating that there were as many as 72,408 road accidents in the state in 2005.
In second place is Tamil Nadu with 53,866 highways accidents followed by Kerala - 42295, Karnataka-40330, Andhra Pradesh -37131, Madhya Pradesh-35123, Gujarat- 30515, Rajasthan-23115, Uttar Pradesh-18325 and West Bengal with 12597 accidents in 2005. Delhi had only 9351 highways accidents in the year. The government has undertaken several measures like introduction of highway traffic management system using intelligent transport system, ensuring discipline among contractors during construction for proper use of road markings and design and road safety audit by NHAI. The on going work for widening and upgrading national highways to 4 and 6 lanes depending on the traffic on the NHs is also part of the action being taken by the government to ensure road safety and easy traffic flow.
