This study aims to utilize Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze and identify intersections with the hotspot identification, incorporating road safety auditing principles. By integrating spatial data on road accidents, traffic patterns, and various relevant factors, the Q- GIS approach provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and visualizing the spatial distribution of fatal accidents. The research involves collecting and processing data from multiple sources, including accident reports from police stations, significant road information of signs, markings etc. while also considering road safety auditing guidelines and practices. Through spatial analysis techniques such as hotspot analysis and network analysis, the study identifies high-risk intersections and assesses the factors  contributing to increased fatality rates, and suggest remedial measures.

Key Words:  Hot spot, Accident, Q-GIS, Signs and Markings, road safety.
