Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2017, Vol 186, Issue 4
Abstract
The problem of road safety is an important problem that accompanies mankind from the very beginning of the development of communication. Based on the statistics, the article presents the analysis of road traffic safety in our country over the past few years and shows how it shapes compared to other European Union countries. The main reasons, which lie behind the situation, are also identified as well as the ways and directions of actions that are taken to minimize the effects of road accidents. The pace of reduction of the number of fatalities and injured on Polish roads is still unsatisfactory and therefore far-reaching measures to counteract such a situation have to be taken. These steps are based on normative provisions and long-term actions supported by the media and various types of advertising campaigns. The article also presents the issues related to the road transport of dangerous goods, which, due to the specific nature of the cargo carried, is subjected to special treatment and governed by international regulations and arrangements under the ADR Agreement.
