The study analyzed and concluded that legal and institution framework governing road traffic laws on combating of the road accidents is not effective as the laws and institutions are not linked and harmonized, police officers who are the law enforcers have not given full legal power on road traffic and road safety as the law gives more power to the court and national road safety council to combat road accidents in the country.
