Accidents are a never ending issue and have been in the rise for the past decades. It has been a significant contributor towards death of human which is alarming yearly with the increase of road users and also with the large construction of road pavement around the globe. This paper is intended to provide an overview regarding the rate of accident and pavement conditions. Human factors has been widely known and established as one of the main contributor to road accidents. This study therefore will be focusing more on to pavement conditions, where its relation with accidents needs to be further explored. Macrotexture, microtexture and surface roughness plays an important role in providing an acceptable and ideal pavement condition. Higher friction between the tire and pavement should be established in order to resist skid and rutting effects. In order to solve problems related to accidents, the causes of accidents has to be further analyzed. A review on pavement conditions and accidents will be discussed further in this paper.
