Abstract

The indicators of road safety on the roads of Ukraine, on the example of Ternopil region are analyzed. It is established that currently in the world road accidents are one of the main causes of death and disability, and create annual GDP losses of 1 to 3%. It is investigated that for January - July 2021 on the street and road network of Ternopil region 1509 road accidents were registered, which is 19% more than for the same period last year (2020 - 1271 accidents). Organizational measures to improve traffic safety on the road network are proposed. Measures to improve traffic safety on the city's road network are divided into three main areas. The first direction was to organize traffic directly on the road network, the second - in the development of public transport and giving priority to travel. From the point of view of traffic safety, the construction of plans for coordination of traffic light facilities taking into account the movement of public transport can be an acceptable method. The third direction is the direct informational impact on drivers of vehicles.
