Abstract

Sibiu county is located in the very center of Romania. The county, and especially its main city, Sibiu, is an important industrial and trade hub. Also, it is located at the crossroads of major roads heading towards the south, the east, the northeast, and the northwest. All these factors result in dense road traffic, which, combined with the conditions encountered on some of the roads, leads in turn to a relatively high number of road accidents. In the current paper, the authors analyze the evolution of the number of road accidents, but also its more severe consequences (fatalities and serious injuries) in Sibiu county from 2010 to 2018 and try to identify road safety measures that could help to limit these numbers. The accidents are analyzed from the type of road, but also from the time of their occurrence (day of the week and hour, respectively).
