MANAGING TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRESS

Managing road traffic is not an easy task at all. Namely, the field of traffic management itself tends to improve traffic management systems, with the aim of increasing safety and reducing the number of traffic accidents. The aim of this paper is to identify the key factors that can improve traffic safety in the Republic of Serbia, i.e. the key factors that the traffic management system should focus on. For this reason, a survey was conducted that included 148 respondents (traffic inspectors and professors of traffic subjects). Factor analysis was applied to identify key factors. The analysis itself showed that traffic safety on the roads of the Republic of Serbia depends on the quality of infrastructure and training of traffic participants, legal regulations and their application, implementation of technical innovations in driving, as well as international cooperation between traffic inspectors.
