Road safety conditions in Poland against a background of selected European Union countries

Abstract

Road safety conditions in Poland and five European Union countries bigger than Poland were described with the use of evaluation indexes usually applied in such studies. Values of these indexes were calculated for the period of 2002-2008, i.e. for a seven-year period. Thanks to this, they show quite stable direction of changes. Thus, they may be used to make predictions and to indicate actions aimed to improve road safety in next years.
