Abstract:
Road network constitute valuable resource and the most important public investment of a country. Each traffic section has a double task, to provide efficient traffic connections and to ensure accessibility to the locations at the immediate vicinity of the road. These tasks are contradictory and a rational balancing between them is necessary. Reaching desired efficiency and maintaining safety in the traffic flow results in a greater control of access and opposite to it, the increased access negatively affects safety of participants and leads to reduction in the road capacity itself.Density of the access for the rural road network or number od access per kilometer of road is one of the road safety indicators that measures the quality of rural road network from the aspect of road safety. This paper gives the example of measuring the road safety indicator „density of the access for the rural road network or number od access per kilometer of road“ for two sections on two magistral roads in the Republic of Srpska, namely: the section „Han Derventa-Mokro“ on the magistral road M19 and the section “Doboj-Šešlije“ on the magistral road M17. The indicator´s measuring results should provide the real insight into the current state of road network safety on the traffic sections concerned and the extent to which those sections ensure safe movement of the traffic participants. The objective of paper is to promote and to present the process of measuring one of the road network indicators „density of the access for the rural road network or number od access per kilometer of road „which represents the indispensable factor in contributing to traffic safety
