Abstract

Road safety in the European Union has improved significantly in recent decades (EU roads are the safest in the world), but the number of fatalities and injuries is still too high. This is very much true for Bulgaria because, within the European area, it is in the group with the highest number of road accident victims who bear not only material losses. Bulgaria, as a member state of the European Union, implements European policies in its legislation and constantly updates its legal framework. In recent years, a number of new initiatives have been taken to reduce trauma and victims on Bulgaria's roads. However, the results achieved are not satisfactory and they are far from what was planned in the previous planning documents. This report classifies the major factors and their elements affecting road accidents in Bulgaria according to the current legal framework in the European Union. A SWOT analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of BSP provision was made, taking into account the impact of these factors. Finally, proposals have been made to prioritize the factors most influential in a national plan to improve road conditions, reduce road accidents, and ensure road safety.
