The following diagrams highlight the annual trends of accidents and the location of the moredangerous places along the considered section.

The causes of the accidents are shown into the following table.

The columns extracted from the database give for each accident information about:

the location and the periods:

the general causes and typologies of the accident:

the actual characteristics of the section lanes, shoulders, type of pavement:the elements of road safety situation of lighting, paved, road marking and signaling.

3 DATA ANALYSIS

For each BS site two parameters are used for the data analysis:

Annual Accident Rate (AR): Number of Deaths per hectometer.

The calculus of this rates have been carried out considering the number of the accident andthe number of Deaths indicated on the NAR list but taking the length from the database (seethe graph of dangerous section).

The table shows the Rates and the values used for the calculus.

Indicator reference to 2001 2006BS N. 02

Figure Mortality caused by road accidents in Europe (data source: HFA db 2003)

Although some actions were taken by the Romanian authorities, the death rate in the lastyears is quit high (please see above Figure) and is on the first place in Europe with 12,81 rate(Table 2 and Figure). But the sever injuries as consequence of the transportation of thedangerous good increased the last 3 years with almost 40%. Moreover, the accidents rate onthe national roads or highways located outside of the cities areas is double that in the citiesneighbourhood areas. Most of them from these are with heavy vehicles that transportdangerous goods.

Based on national economical development and the political integration in EU in 2007, theroad transport will continue to grow with 8-10% per year till 2015. If the accidents rate

caused by the transportation of the dangerous goods will follow the same rate, in some yearsthe number of injuries will increase tremendous.

The social costs of the traffic accidents in 2003 were estimated at over 350 million euro(about 2 % from PIB), representing the losing of human lives, the expenses for re-covering of the people with physical handicaps, as well as those for financial prejudice.

b.TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY SITUATION

There are problems due to the high presence of heavy traffic and to the high speed of traffic.

c. SITUATION CONDITIONS OF THE CARRIAGGEWAY AND SHOULDERS

The pavement of the road is in a fair condition but with shoulders only partially paved. Onthe other hand, there is some small presence of rutting and deformations due to the presence

of heavy traffic.

5 SAFETY DIAGNOSIS

5.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE SITUATION

The on-site visit allowed to understand the main safety issue related with this place.

There are three main subjects to be treated and resolved:1. the junctions between DN1B with DJ68

2. the pedestrian crossings

3. the bus station

The existing situation is illustrated in the next paragraph.

5.2 Junction

The DN1B intersects DJ 68 and in this junction.

The scenario is also affected by the following elements:

a. high presence of heavy traffic on DN1B

b. inappropriate geometric characteristics for operating speeds: insufficient sightdistances

c. there are only painted markings and not plastic markings; this cause lowvisibility especially during the darker seasons of the year and makes regular road woks necessary for repainting.

5.3 Pedestrian crossingsThere are not pedestrian crossings in this area.
