Abstract
The traditional approach to the analysis of traffic accidents has mostly involved identifying omissions in vehicles and drivers, which led to the occurrence of a traffic accident. However, more recent EU directives dealing with this area emphasize infrastructure failures that may be the real cause of the accident. This approach refers to preventive action, ie the design of such infrastructure that will, in case of failure of the driver, "forgive" the driver his mistake and prevent the occurrence of a traffic accident or reduce the consequences of a traffic accident. To achieve this, a completely new approach to the problem is needed, ie to build, reconstruct and regenerate the road infrastructure according to its real function from the aspect of traffic safety. The realization of these concepts in our area implies primarily the education of all entities that have contact with road infrastructure (designers, managers, auditors, etc.), with emphasis on the fact that savings on the material are significantly less than the savings achieved by reducing the number of accidents, with injured faces and fatalities.
Highlights
The problem of road safety is a problem that has been current for a long time, from the appearance of a large number of vehicles on the roads until today
The European Union has taken aggressive steps towards the introduction of documents that seek to define and eliminate most of the causes of traffic accidents. One of these documents of the European Union is Directive 96/2008/EC, which is the subject of this paper, due to its importance and partial neglect in the legislation of many countries
There are four methods here, with a focus on RSI (Road Safety Inspection) and RSA (Road Safety Audit), because they are expected to have the greatest effects of reducing traffic accidents with fatal consequences
Summary
The problem of road safety is a problem that has been current for a long time, from the appearance of a large number of vehicles on the roads until today. Because of the disrupted security in Europe, we had an unacceptable number of dead and seriously injured To reduce this number, the European Union has taken aggressive steps towards the introduction of documents that seek to define and eliminate most of the causes of traffic accidents. The European Union has taken aggressive steps towards the introduction of documents that seek to define and eliminate most of the causes of traffic accidents One of these documents of the European Union is Directive 96/2008/EC, which is the subject of this paper, due to its importance and partial neglect in the legislation of many countries. The last part of the paper deals with key amendments to the existing Directive, as well as the need to introduce it into the legislation of many countries, together with a description of the Rulebook on Road Safety Audit and Inspection, which must be adopted to affect traffic safety.
