Road Traffic Accident and Injuries (RTAI) is a global trauma and like many other countries in the world Bangladesh also suffers a great deal due to road accidents every year. According to the police reported accident records, the number of fatalities has been increasing from 187 in 1972 to 3764 in 2008, nearly 10 percent per year in the total 37 years life of Bangladesh but in the last decade this numbers are not equally increased (3314 in 1999 to 3764 in 2008, 2% per year). With the growth of motorization, urbanization and hence number of road users, the number of accidents and fatalities on road are increasing with the passage of time. Proper and rational rates of accidents and corresponding trends are required to understand or judge the situation accordingly. In this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the rate of road traffic accidents and fatalities trends in terms of total numbers, vehicle population, population, road length and vehicle kilometer using police reported accident data. It is really alarming situation in Bangladesh for increasing the number of fatalities with theequal number of accidents.
