Abstract
A road safety inspection (RSI) is a systematic and independent assessment of the parameters of
road safety projects with the aim of preventing traffic accidents and creating safer roads for all
road users. It covers all road users, not only car drivers, but also pedestrians, cyclists,
motorcyclists, trucks, buses and public transport vehicles, and considers all road safety
stakeholders (road users, road maintenance, vehicle , weather conditions, etc.).
Using the RSI procedure and analyzing the current state of traffic safety on the section of the
regional road R1106 (from the intersection with Boris Trajkovski Blvd. to the intersection for
the local road to the Church of St. Dimitrija), as well as the AADT data, conducted traffic
accidents, and the previously performed inspection with a implemented project to increase traffic
safety, it can be seen that the situation is not at a satisfactory level.
It is necessary to take measures that will contribute to the improvement and increase of safety,
taking into account all the influential risks included in the two subcategories: objective - which
are related to the objective factors (environment) and subjective - which are conditioned by the
individual ability, properties, characteristics, motivation, understandings, attitudes and
prejudices of the person. The obtained results are compared with the initially carried out
inspection of the road to increase safety and the effects of the already carried out reconstruction
to improve traffic safety, which was carried out in 2014. Based on this analysis and comparison,
dangerous locations will be detected, i.e. reasons why they are unsafe, and conclusions and
recommendations will be made that can serve as a direction for improving the safety of other
road sections.
