Abstract

Considering the increase in traffic accidents in Serbia the new measures to increase traffic safety are required. This research examines different age-gender categories of drivers involved in traffic incidents between 2016 and 2021. Findings revealed that the majority of traffic accidents in the research period occurred in the afternoon hours. The identification of the primary risk factors indicated as the cause of traffic accidents received special emphasis. Thus, among the groups of factors, taking reckless actions by the drivers and incorrect execution of traffic actions by the driver are leading, especially for the youngest and oldest categories of drivers. Driving under the influence of alcohol is the most significant individual risk factor for all gender-age categories of drivers, particularly for the youngest drivers. The findings can be used as guidelines for developing targeted policies aiming at reduce the frequency of traffic accidents and raise the degree of protection for road users.
