The main object of this study is to discuss the present state of traffic accident information of study area (Area under Old Faridabad and Sector-31 Faridabad Police station). It shall discuss the Identification of high rate accident locations and safety deficient areas on the highway by analysing accident data bank for the study area extracted from Police FIR records for the year 2015 to 2018 with the help of GIS software. The Severity index of every accident is calculated using proportionate weightage of fatal, serious injury, minor injury and property damage only and Severity Index is used in spatial analysis. Eleven numbers of black spot locations have been identified and ranked on NH-44 section (old NH-2) including bypass in Faridabad, Haryana. Also, various remedial measures to those accidental locations (Black Spots) have been suggested.
