Abstract

The aim of our study is to understand what international examples and best practices exist in the field of public safety systems and how they can be effectively adapted to the domestic regional situation. The efficiency and stability of regional systems and the cost-benefit analysis of their application are also important aspects. The analysis of the data and experience gathered will help to develop effective strategies and systems to improve road safety. Based on the results of our research, we will make recommendations for the improvement of the national road safety system, taking into account international examples and best practices. In addition, we have included in our analysis the cooperation between different organisations to better address road séfet challenges. Our study concludes that it is also important to modernise and improve road infrastructure in order to improve road safety systems. This includes safer road design, improved lighting and signalling systems, and effective enforcement and enforcement of speed limits and other traffic rules. Based on our findings, we have identified the need to develop training and education programmes to help transport professionals and road users to improve road safety knowledge and awareness.
