Abstract

This paper studies the number of traffic accidents (TAs) in which people were killed or/and seriously injured over the peliod from January 1996 to October 2000 in Slovenia. The aim of this work is to ascertain if the reduction in the increase of thenumber of TAs after I May 1998, when the new road traffic safety law (RTSL) was adopted, is statistically significant. Assuming that the time series analysed contains also a seasonal component, we found out that the new RTSL had a very positive impact on the number of T As, especially in the first year (approximately) after adoption. After this period the average increase of the number of T As rose again, but not as high as before the adoption of the RTSL.
