Popis: Introduction. A significant share of traffic accidents occurs precisely at intersections and junctions Therefore, there is a need to increase road safety on them, taking into account modern requirements and best global practice, namely the organization of roundabouts at intersections Problem Statement. The increase in the car fleet is significantly ahead of the rate of growth of the road network. In this regard, traffic conditions worsen, the number of traffic accidents increases, the capacity of roads decreases, which leads to a decrease in road efficiency and an increase in the cost of road transportation. In such conditions, the issue of increasing road safety, in particular at intersections, becomes especially urgent. Purpose. Study of traffic safety at intersections, determination of the causes of traffic accidents and formulation of proposals to reduce their number. Materials and methods. In the article, the method of statistical data processing was used to analyze traffic safety on highways. Results. The causes of traffic accidents were analyzed, in particular at intersections, and it was determined that roundabouts are safer than other types of intersections.
