Public roads for example the N-25, N-50, N-40, and N-70 function as tactical transport passages linking Balochistan with other provinces as well as adjacent states; but these roads have seen a continuous rise in highway calamities over the previous 10 years’ time. This research paper examines the growing ratios of road accidents on the highways of Balochistan utilizing qualitative content analysis of secondary data gained from governmental reports, global organizations, articles, and official policy documents. The study reveals that to reduce highway calamities in Balochistan needs incorporated involvements comprising structure transformation, firmer transportation law enforcement, enhanced driver schooling, and enhanced collaboration. Applying the above-mentioned actions would play a significant role in viable transport, local economic development, as well as the attainment of nationwide and worldwide highway security goals.
