In Egypt recent studies show that this percent goes to be between 1 and 2% of the GDP value. Decision Makers needs to have reliable database and classification showing the recommended priority for implementing an action plan to minimize the loss due to traffic accidents. Literature review shows that there are different techniques to come with the priority list. In this research the technique adopted by GARBLT has been assessed versus to international techniques. It has been concluded that the "Relative Dangerousness Rate" is the best technique to identify the hazardous road section as it considered almost all factors such as relative cost, accident severity, traffic volume, etc. Proposed priority list based on this research for Egyptian road network is presented and recommendation to revise GARBLT technique is described.
