Abstract

Within the transport process there is continuous interaction between the three main factors: behaviour of road users, infrastructure conditions and characteristics and vehicles. As a matter of fact, the aforementioned factors are key sources of causes for traffic accidents.
The purpose of the present article is to propose such a road traffic organization that would reduce congestions, minimize the number of road accidents and the risk to health and life and would enhance safety. In this context certain characteristics of a specific road section in Bulgaria will be examined. Furthermore measures for improving traffic conditions and safety will be defined.
