It also studies human and economic damages resulting from accidents and their causes.

Road accidents in Al-Ajailat witnessed a significant increase from 2007 to 2010, with an up to 56.1% over the year 2007.

Then, there was a sudden as the number of accidents in 2021 was 46 accidents.

This indicates that the number of accidents after 2011 was less than before.

The reason is that most of the accidents were not registered at the traffic offices, with the exception of drivers of government and insured cars accidents.

As for the human damage caused by road accidents in the region, the significant increase in the total number of human injuries was evident in the years preceding the aforementioned year.

The number increased from 95 people in 2007 to 147 in 2010.

Afterwards, there was a sudden decrease in 2014, with a loss of 25 people.

The number has increased into 100 victims in 2021.

Regarding economic loss, the number of damaged cars increased and decreased in most of the recent years.

This could be due to the fact that the accident statistics after 2011 are inaccurate as most of the accidents are not recorded in traffic offices.

It has been found that the first reason for these accidents was exceeding the legally prescribed speed, and failure to adhere to the right side, failure to observe the pedestrian lane, and failure to respect priority.
