Abstract
The transportation of hazardous goods represents an economic activity whose consequences can have serious impact on the safety of transportation, the environment and human health. With the aim of reviewing the elements that affect the activity, this article presents a model for the transportation of hazardous goods of which, generally, there are two forms: the theoretical model for the transportation of hazardous goods, which represents the goal for the establishment of relations on the transportation of hazardous goods services market; and the real model for the transportation of hazardous goods, which represents an adaptation of the theoretical model to the status in a specific localised region. The research, which was conducted as part of the principal author’s Ph.D. thesis, illustrates the exceptional influence of the society changes within a specific country. The theoretical model for the road transportation of hazardous goods is transposed into the real transportation services environment in Slovenia and it presents its transition and incorporation into the common EU transportation service market. KEY WORDS: transportation policy, model of the road transportation of hazardous goods

Summary
The transportation of hazardous goods is an important part of the road transportation subsystem. In addition to the existing legal system that regulates the road transportation of hazardous goods, it is necessary to successfully and effectively translate these requirements into the real transportation environment in order to ensure a suitable level of road safety. In this respect, we must place emphasis on familiarity with and implementation of safety requirements at all levels of organising and implementing the road transportation of hazardous goods. Based on represented problem of the research scientific hypothesis was determined as followed: The level of the social environment changes and the development of transportation infrastructure and suprastrukture as a whole have a crucial impact on the model of road transportation model of hazardous goods and its dynamics of change in technological and organisational terms. The objective of research was to gain, on the basis of past experience, sufficient knowledge to ensure the safety of the road transportation of hazardous goods and to assure sustainable development of road transportation system
