Abstract

The article presents the level of road traffic safety at selected intersections. The authors focused on side collisions that are most often road accident effect in Poland. In the paper are presented localisation of analysed areas on the transport network of Sosnowiec (Silesian Province, Poland), intersections geometry and the number of collision points. Analysis was performed of causes and effects of road accidents at selected intersections. For this purpose, the data was used from SEWiK database. Additionally local visions were carried out.
