Abstract
The road safety is an area of public security, which is a basic need of every human being. One of the sources of the threats are road traffic offenses related in violation of safety rules. The aim of the article is to analyze road safety throughout the country and in individual provinces. In the study were used spatial and time data included in e.g. in the Regional Bank Data in the years 2001-2014 and the Police research papers available on the Internet. The statistical analysis and application of the Hellwig's taxonomic measure of development allowed the characterization of road traffic offenses in Poland and to identification of regions with the highest level of road safety. It turned out, that despite the presence of a number of negative factors increasing the risk of accidents, the security situation on Polish roads improves. The number of accidents and their victims decreases. Particularly positive changes on Polish roads were noted after the Polish accession to the European Union.
