Road accident fatalities and severe injuries represent a critical global issue, causing more than 1.3 million deaths annually. Despite recent progress in reducing road fatalities in Croatia, there remains a substantial need for enhanced road safety measures. This paper investigates the factors contributing to severe road traffic accidents, with a particular focus on speeding. It analyzes the proportion of speeding-related accidents across urban areas, highways, and rural roads. Additionally, it proposes measures to improve speed control by extending authority to local bodies and road infrastructure managers. The insights provided aim to guide the development of targeted interventions for enhanced road safety and speed management, ultimately reducing the occurrence and severity of traffic accidents.

摘要

Road accident fatalities and severe injuries represent a critical global issue, causing more than 1.3 million deaths annually. Despite recent progress in reducing road fatalities in Croatia, there remains a substantial need for enhanced road safety measures. This paper investigates the factors contributing to severe road traffic accidents, with a particular focus on speeding. It analyzes the proportion of speeding-related accidents across urban areas, highways, and rural roads. Additionally, it proposes measures to improve speed control by extending authority to local bodies and road infrastructure managers. The insights provided aim to guide the development of targeted interventions for enhanced road safety and speed management, ultimately reducing the occurrence and severity of traffic accidents.
