The efficiency of actions to improve road safety – assessing the implementation of the programme objectives

Summary/Abstract: Road accidents and, above all, their negative consequences are a serious problem worldwide. Preventing them is a challenge that involves many actions taken by governments, international organisations, economic operators, and non-profit organisations. The actions that are to lead to a significant reduction in the number of casualties and fatalities are considered essential. In order to make a significant change in this field, it is necessary to take rational action. In Poland, the objectives for the improvement of road safety and the methods of achieving them were endorsed in the National Road Safety Programme 2013–2020. As the period of these seven years is to come to an end, this article will present the achieved results for years 2010–2018 in relation to the main causes of accidents induced by drivers.
