Abstract	The increasing number of traffic accidents on National Highways, which make only about 2% of the whole road network, are to blame for one-third of all fatalities.. Because there are no facilities for pedestrians on Indian roadways, the traffic is diverse in character with a high proportion of slowly moving automobiles, forcing pedestrians to use the carriageway. Road accidents are becoming more and more common due to a lack of enforcement and contempt for traffic laws. In addition to the losses to society and the individual in terms of suffering, human loss, handicap, and mental anguish, traffic accidents also result in a 1% loss of GDP. Due to a number of evident factors, the road accident scenario is even more bleak in mountainous areas. Some of the factors that contribute to accidents on hills include small roads, steep slopes or gradients, hairpin bends, narrow and abrupt curves, the existence of valleys or rivers on one side of the road, poor visibility in the winter, the monsoon, landslides, the width/type of the shoulder, the pavement's surface, and the standard of maintenance, among others. It is crucial to always consider how the road, the car, and the other users of the road interact to cause accidents. The same factors contribute to accidents on uphill roads, thus it's critical to research them and examine their interactions. Even if one element seems to be in the lead, this interaction still exists. The THREE E's Le Engineering are just one of the many elements that ensure road safety. To at least lessen, if not totally prevent, accidents and lessen their severity, enforcement and education should be researched. The components and their interactions that are directly related to accidents on hill roads or that can be helpful in the study of accidents on hill roads were thoroughly reviewed in the literature.
