Sažetak
In the Republic of Croatia in the last ten years, the number of persons killed in road traffic is reduced. However, it is still not enough to be compared with the developed countries of the European Union. According to the international experience, identification of black spot and hazardous locations in road traffic is one of the most effective ways to reduce the number of traffic accident. Identification of black spot locations has a long tradition in the traffic engineering, but it is evident that European countries still don’t have same principles for identifying black spot. One of the reasons is their general level of traffic safety. The countries which have developed methodology for identifying black spot a long time ago today have a very high level of traffic safety. Methodology for the identification black spots range from simple marking of dangerous locations to more sophisticated techniques used to assess the expected number of accidents and determines the potential for improving road safety. In this paper it is analyzed the current methodology and the impact of black spot identification on the road safety in the Republic of Croatia. Based on the analysis are recommended measures for improvement the black spots identification system.
