Along with the development of civilization, there is also an accelerated development of traffic, which, unfortunately, is not accompanied by the development of human consciousness to the required extent. This disproportion has led to an increase in the problem of traffic safety itself. This problem is faced by all countries in the world, from developed to underdeveloped countries. In order to find a solution to any problem, including traffic safety, it is necessary to define the existing, current situation through quality monitoring. The general state of traffic safety can be defined by the current state and trend of traffic safety indicators. Measurements in traffic safety are also important for determining the effects of implementing measures. Namely, by measuring, or determining the value of one or more traffic safety indicators, before and after the implementation of the measures, it is possible to determine the effects of those measures on the improvement of traffic safety.
