Relevance. The paper is devoted to problems of ensuring road traffic safety in Russia, which is the public task of great importance involving the implementation of the policy for protecting people's health, life, and property.Intention. To look for ways of optimizing and implementing the measures aimed at preventing the technogenic emergencies.Methodology. To analyze the indicators of road traffic accidents in the Russian Federation over five years as well as the federal laws in the field of road traffic safety.Results and Discussion. Risk factors of traffic accidents include: alcohol intoxication, speed limit exceeded, overtaking in the wrong place, driver talking, smoking while driving, driver fatigue. In the Russian Federation, there is a persistent downward trend in the number of accidents. In 2019, 164,358 traffic accidents (-2.2 %; all comparisons vs 2018) occurred, 16,981 (-6.8 %) persons died, 210,877 (-1.9 %) persons were injured. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the number of accidents due violation of the Road Rules by drivers was 146,688 (-1 %); 14,420 (-5.7 %) persons died and 195,037 (-0.8 %) persons were injured. In 2019, road traffic accidents caused by drunk drivers tended to decrease (12,040; -3.5 %); 11,510 (-4 %) persons died and 160,725 (-0.4 %) persons were injured.Conclusion. Drivers' health is directly related to road traffic safety; health promotion would contribute to decreasing the number of road traffic accidents and traffic-related injuries.

Introduction. One of the important problems in the Russian Federation is road safety improvement (RS). This is due to the enormous damage that accidents inflict on the national economy. The Russian Federation lags behind the leading countries of the European Union in the field of road safety in terms of key indicators by 3.5 times. To close the gap, in January 2018, we adopted the 'Strategy for road safety in the Russian Federation for 2018 - 2024’ (Strategy). The goal of the Strategy is to strive for zero mortality in road traffic accidents (RTA) by 2030, and in 2024 to reduce the social risk to 4 deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants.Materials and methods. The developments are based on a new theory developed at SibADI - this is the cyclical dynamics of road accidents on a national scale, subordinate to the level of the economy. During crisis, there is a decrease in the number of accidents; this is influenced by a number of factors, the main one is a decrease in the total mileage of vehicles. During such periods, the effectiveness of measures to reduce road accidents is often confused with the real cause, which leads to a decrease in funding and the curtailment of work to improve road safety, which should not be done. When the economy recovers, the level of road accidents recovers and even begins to grow due to the loss of qualifications of drivers who are idle during the crisis.Results. There are two different approaches to achieving this goal. At the federal level, there is a programmatic approach, while in the regions the project method is used within the framework of the 'Safe and High-Quality Highways’ national project (BKAD). A similar project was adopted in the Omsk region. A feature of the road safety project implementation in the Omsk region is the involvement of science. Research is carried out at the Organization and Traffic Safety Department and is introduced into the educational process and implemented at the Federal Training Center for advanced training of workers involved in the training of drivers, created in SibADI.Discussion and conclusion. The scientific approach guarantees the identification and quality solution of the main problems of the road safety project. This applies to recommendations for stabilizing project financing, justifying the development of public transport, using new technologies, improving the regulatory and legislative framework in all areas of urban planning and infrastructure.

The subject of this research is the international and Russian normative legal acts aimed to ensure unavoidability of liability for violators of the Road Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation, namely the drivers of vehicles registered in foreign countries. The object of this research is the administrative legal relations that arise in the course of proceedings in such cases. The article traces the correlation between the increase in violations of the road traffic rules and consequences of the traffic accidents caused by such drivers; as well as the reason for lack of evidence required by the Main Directorate for Traffic Safety to hold the responsible to account. The article explores the questions of interaction between the Main Directorate for Traffic Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and other state departments in order to eliminate the flaws in organization of the work on ensuring unavoidability of liability by drivers of vehicles registered in foreign countries. The conclusion is made on the need to form a unified database on owners of motor vehicles registered in foreign countries and individuals bringing them into the Russian Federation, determine the federal department of executive branch and delegation of power thereto for ensuring that individuals crossing the border of the Russian Federation adhere to these administrative laws, as well as introducing amendments into the legislation of the Russian Federation on restricting the right of foreign citizens to cross the state borders of the Russian Federation if failed to pay an administrative penalty. The author also underlines the need for the development of international agreements between the Russian Federation and foreign countries on the mutual recognition and liability for traffic violations recorded by automated monitoring systems.

The article considers the results of research of accident rate heterogeneity in cities-administrative centers of subjects of Russian Federation (2015, 2016). Using methods of ranging, regression analysis and spatial differentiation these cities were classified into 5 classes on the basis of relative disadvantage in road traffic safety sphere. For each group of cities differentiated recommendations on financing regional road traffic safety programs were suggested.

In this paper, road pavement collapses resulting from sewer leakage are divided into six categories: negligible, marginal, considerable, serious, very serious and catastrophic, with the categorization being based on two criteria, both related to traffic safety, i.e., the number of fatalities caused by sinkholes, and the extent of the road pavement damage. The causes of road pavement collapses are also discussed. The study involved analyzing the deterioration of sewer pipes with long service lives, focusing on the most common materials, i.e., concrete and vitrified clay. The results of the sewer inspections performed by the Kielce University of Technology suggest that the spot and linear defects detected in sewers of this type can be divided into three groups. The findings were used to formulate some recommendations on how to improve road traffic safety by preventing road pavement collapses.

The objective of this paper is to analyse road traffic safety in the Republic of Croatia based on the selected indicators which were used by the legislator in bringing the Law on Road Traffic Safety which has been in force since 28 July 2004, and the achieved effects in reaching the desired safety level in the three-year period from 2005 to 2007. The aim of the research is to establish a prognostic trend of the values of the studied indicators in the time period following the enforcement of new legal regulations. Adequate safety indicator values for the respective period were analyzed using the methods of analysis and synthesis, mathematical statistics as well as trend assessment based on the found mathematical prognostic models. Based on the results of this research it was found that the basic hypothesis according to which the implementation of new legal guidelines had to result in positive change in the condition of road traffic safety, failed to be confirmed. A change in the road traffic safety improvement strategy has been proposed as well as a more significant participation and recognition of the profession and science in this field which is of great significance for the society. KEY WORDS: influence of legal regulations, road traffic safety, effects and tendencies

The safety of road traffic in small towns in the Republic of Croatia is not at a satisfactory level. As proof, the safety of road traffic participants in the area of the town of Nova Gradiška and its wider environment has been studied and analyzed. The paper includes the available data in the period from 2000 to 2007. The analysis and the assessment of road traffic safety can be applied also to other towns and counties of the Republic of Croatia. Having in mind that there are 531 settlements in the Republic of Croatia (119 towns and 412 districts), out of which only 78 are larger than 10,000 inhabitants or 14.69% of the total number, which means that the analysis could be made for any settlement in the Republic of Croatia. The road traffic safety assessment was conceived according to the modified Smeed model which may be applied for any settlement or town. The road traffic safety analysis has led to the conclusion that safety of all the traffic participants is endangered. This paper provides solutions about what has to be done in order to reduce the danger to all the road traffic factors. KEY WORDS: drivers, traffic, traffic accidents, safety and small towns
