Abstract
The safety of road network users is a fundamental goal of a modern transportation system. Safety is most commonly assessed by the number of traffic accidents and the severity of their consequences. In the Republic of Croatia, hazardous locations on the road network are continuously identified, and their remediation plays an important role in reducing the number of traffic accidents and mitigating their consequences. This paper analyzes the extent to which the processes of identifying and remediating hazardous locations have contributed to reducing the number of traffic accidents. The research includes a comparative analysis of a three-year period before and a three-year period after the implementation of remediation measures, with the objective of providing relevant insight into the effectiveness of the applied measures and their contribution to increasing road safety.
