Some of the capital’s busiest roads, including Mathura Road, Outer Ring Road and Grand Trunk Road, are also among those recording the highest number of fatal accidents, with a Delhi Traffic Police assessment identifying 153 accident-prone locations across the city. Delhiites, beware!
Other accident-prone locations along the Grand Trunk Road include Mukarba Chowk, Libas Pur bus stand and Singhu Border, each of which recorded seven fatal crashes. The assessment provides a location-wise picture of accident-prone areas across the capital, covering major road junctions, flyovers, bus terminals, stretches near metro stations and other busy corridors. These locations include major traffic intersections and transport hubs that witness heavy vehicular movement, highlighting the challenge of improving road safety across the city. The Delhi Traffic Police identifies accident-prone locations every year based on road accident data. The exercise helps pinpoint stretches and junctions where crashes have occurred repeatedly and require the attention of agencies concerned. “These agencies are expected to take appropriate remedial and corrective measures at the identified locations.
Swaroop Nagar on the Grand Trunk Road recorded 13 fatal crashes in 2025, the highest among the identified black spots, according to data shared by the traffic police.
After identifying the locations, the traffic police shares the list with the Delhi government’s Transport Department, the Public Works Department (PWD), the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and other concerned road-owning and engineering agencies, another officer said. The process brings together the traffic police, which analyses accident patterns, and the agencies responsible for roads and related infrastructure,” he said.
