      <p id="paragraph-f70c6ffbe37441e5873878edfc0415d4">To sum up, the Mysore city traffic police limits area having 149 sq. Kilo meter got 902 road traffic accidents in three sub-division of N.R. Sub-Division, K.R. Sub-division, Devaraja sub-division. In the daytime due to the overcrowding population for commercial and business purposes in the core of the city got a huge accident occurred. The main reasons for this accident are breaking the traffic rules, without helmet traveling, crossing the traffic signals, etc. N.R. Sub-Division got more accident considering that passing National High 212, Hunsur to Mysore and State Highway 17, Bangalore to Mysore, then the main industrial area ring road. To maintain the more traffic road accidents in Mysore city need to make five more sub-divisions and adopt new sub-ways and traffic light signals in more traffic circle or junction, then only we can see the fewer road accidents in palace city of Mysore. </p>
