Abstract

Traffic accidents cause high material and human losses, what is reflected in society. The logical result is the need for efficient road safety in designing a new and the existing road system. One of the countermeasures for improving existing road system is abolishing the hazardous road locations on road network. Slovenia is dealing with more or less the same problem as other new European Union (EU) Member States: the traffic safety on our roads is not on desired level. A lot has to be done in the next years if we want to catch European most safe countries like Sweden, United Kingdom or The Netherlands. One of the measure, which has been in force during the last decade on Slovenian national road network present abolishing the hazardous road locations. This paper presents the strategy of dealing with this process in Slovenia.
