The social and economic losses of road accidents indicate a need for the development of road safety programs in many countries. Due to the long run efficiency of programs aiming at improving the human element of accidents, low cost projects for the elimination of dangerous locations (black spots) need to be developed. In this study, the rate‐quality control methodology was used together with historical data on road accidents to determine the critical sections and black spots on a road network. The methodology was then applied to the Turkish Road Network and, with a detailed geometric and environmental identification of black spots, low‐cost safety projects were suggested within the context of a continuous road safety program.
