Throughout the world, in traffic accidents many people get injured or die. Even though the developed countries are able to fmd a partial solution to this problem, such a case continues to be a major problem in undeveloped countries. The number of traffic accidents in Turkey is increasing depending on the increase in the number of motor-vehicles. However, there may be different reasons for the increment of the number of traffic accidents. Countries are seeking a variety of methods to reduce the frequency of traffic accidents. One of the effective methods to reduce the casualty number of traffic accidents is the construction of divided highways. In this study, common traffic accidents happening in Turkey were evaluated and their causes and measures to be taken to reduce their frequency are investigated.
