At least 1,384 people were killed and 2,488 injured in 1,849 road accidents across the capital between 2020 and July 2026, with pedestrians and motorcyclists accounting for more than 80 percent of the fatalities, according to the Road Safety Foundation (RSF). RSF data show that of those killed, 1,034 were men, 219 women and 131 children. It also noted that prolonged traffic congestion contributes to impatience and aggressive driving, further increasing the likelihood of crashes. Jatrabari, Demra, Mohammadpur, Kuril, Biswa Road and Airport Road were identified as major accident hotspots. The report called for stronger coordination among the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority, Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation, Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority, the two city corporations and traffic police to implement comprehensive road safety measures.
