Ensuring traffic safety as a state function

Based on a comprehensive systematic approach, the article examines issues of legal regulation of road safety through the prism of organizational and legal measures within the framework of state administration activities in conditions of martial law and the negative influence of the aggressor in the context of the Concept of Ensuring the National System of Stability. The object of the study is the set of social relations arising in the field of road safety. The subject of the study is the theoretical, legal, and organizational foundations of road safety and the current state of legal regulation. The methodological basis is the dialectical methodology, which allows studying road safety as a set of social processes and phenomena in their genesis, interdependence, and interconnection. The application of a systematic method of studying legal phenomena made it possible to consider the application of legal regulation in the field of road safety. Analysis of the situation in the field of road safety, including in the transport services market, determines the requirements for economic entities regarding the application of engineering and technical means of safety. A regulatory and legal framework has been established in this area, which serves as the basis for making decisions on ensuring the safety of transport infrastructure from natural and man-made threats and terrorist acts. Improving this framework is a pressing issue for ensuring sustainable economic development and the ability of the state and society to effectively counter threats of armed aggression. Legal means of ensuring road safety are part of state policy in this area of relations, but there are shortcomings in legal regulation that lead to a decrease in the level of safety, which must be promptly addressed and eliminated. It is noted that an important role in ensuring road safety belongs to security providers – state bodies and civil society institutions. The effectiveness of road safety in a state of martial law depends on what forces and means are used and how they are applied.
