Abstract

Traffic accidents and the consequent human tragedy constitute a psychological burden on the citizen and the resulting human and material losses and major repercussions on the national economy through the resulting increase in the number of traffic accidents, the aim of preparing the research was to show the importance of the (Baghdad-Kirkuk) road, which represents Road No. (2), and the negative aspects of accidents and the problems caused by these accidents and the extent of their sufficiency in satisfying the needs of their users in the (study area), especially in Iraq in general, because this road is considered a product of development in the (study area), as its length reached 248 km. through the quantitative analysis of the data obtained from the field study and the

data of government departments, it was found that the (Baghdad-Kirkuk) road, It is considered one of the most dense roads in terms of traffic volume during working days and daily trips to government and service institutions. The impact of traffic accidents on road efficiency was the result of the increase in the population and the number of vehicles, according to the correlation matrix analysis. As for the location analysis of the accidents on the (Baghdad-Kirkuk) road, Al-Azim district recorded the highest percentage of accidents (22.7%) compared to the rest of the areas that are located on the road track due to the traffic momentum, and that the road has one lane in most of its distances. As well as alkhsvs and cracks on the surfaces of the road, and finally the researchers reached some conclusions through which the formulation of some recommendations that the researchers see appropriate solutions with sound planning foundations that result in the reduction of traffic accidents.
