    Road traffic refers to the collection of all vehicles that moves along a wide way leading
    from one place to another. In most cases such traffic moves with an accompaniment of a
    pedestrian in a pavement.
    In 18081, the first car in the world was discovered where its engine was made of a
    mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. The discoverer of the car was known as Isaac De Rivaz, a
    citizen of France and Switzerland, but the type of car he discovered did not work in the same
    way. After 24 years, Entiene Noire succeeded in repairing the engine but after installing it in the
    car it was working faster than even humans. On January 26 2, 1886, a German discoverer
    discovered a Karl Benz with a gasoline auto motor in Germany, and Karl Benz was the first to
    establish a world automotive industry, making a three wheeled car as a landmark in his
    hometown roam. Gottlieb Daimler then discovered gas and repaired his car using the gas. In
    March of that year, the car was first manufactured with a four-wheel-drive, fuel-efficient engine
    and was ready to be advertised.1889 Daimler introduced a new engine and one year later
    Daimler officially announced Daimler as his new Daimler car company in Germany in the city of
    Stuttgart to start competing with other car manufacturing companies.

    Due to discovery of the motor vehicle there was a need for Road Traffic regulation in the
    United State of America road traffic injuries claim more than 1.2 million lives each year and are
    the leading cause of death among young people aged between 15 and 29 years old. These deaths
    have a huge impact on health and development and represent an economic burden in American
    country. Legislation is key in the effort to improve road user behavior and decrease road traffic
    casualties. Most of the Region’s countries need to tighten their laws dealing with road safety risk
    and protective factors to bring them in line with international best practices. Road safety

    legislation is effective only when coupled with effective enforcement countries reported a need
    to better enforce these laws.

    Traffic in the context of road using has been described to include all the vehicles that are moving
    along the roads in a particular area3this means that moving vehicles has been recorded since time
    in memorial that can be denoted from the time of colonization to post colonial period 4. During
    Germany domination or colonization in TANZANIA different kinds of vehicles were shipped to
    Tanganyika by then. Road Traffic of Tanganyika experienced movement of vehicles which were
    very strong to be called Germany.

    Through historical narrations the history of road transportation in Tanzania began with a
    seemingly simple two-part question, why was there a lack of all-weather roads in southern
    Tanzania, and how did their absence hamper the region’s economic development this,
    presentation addressed the latter half of the question. They concluded that the failure of the
    colonial (1880s-1961) and post-colonial states to construct adequate transportation infrastructure
    in the south aggravated the region’s real and perceived impoverishment and isolation throughout
    the twentieth century5. Data on road traffic revealed that, Colonial authorities and private
    investors were eager to improve infrastructure in southern Tanzania (then German East Africa)
    in the 1890s in order to better exploit natural resources and create a lucrative, cash crop
    producing landscape. The physical destruction and social unrest caused by the Maji Maji
    rebellion (1905-1907) and First World War thwarted colonial “development” schemes in the
    south.

    British Colonial in the British colonial state and Tanzanian national government road traffic
    increased however invested their limited resources in more prosperous regions accessible by
    railway networks. At the turn of the twenty-first century, newspaper articles and historians
    continued to lament the deplorable road conditions. Stranded passengers purchased food from
    local communities and slept onboard the broken-down buses out of fear of potential lion attacks
    as they waited indefinite periods for a replacement vehicle to arrive. These stories persuaded me

    that the history of road transportation in southern Tanzania was innately pessimistic. The
    dilapidated roads served as a powerful symbol of the region’s isolation and poverty. They helped
    to justify government neglect and propagate stereotypes that the region was incapable of
    development.
    Currently the Road Traffic therefore is increased due to the presence of many motor vehicles in
    the United Republic of Tanzania. Experiences in road traffic shows 6 Tanzania have various
    passenger vehicles that commands a variety of road traffic like, motor cycles (piki piki or boda
    boda), auto rickshaws (bajaj), mini-buses (dala dala), and major bus liners. This shorks the
    people who are now travelling from different corners like from Dar es Salaam to Lindi (454 km)
    and northeast from Songea to Dar es Salaam (934 km)
