Road safety strategy on national roads
PublicationMimo podejmowanych wielu działań w zakresie brd na sieci dróg krajowych w Polsce, rezultaty są dalekie od oczekiwań i zadań postawionych przez Krajowy Program BRD GAMBIT 2005. Można by to tłumaczyć dużym przyrostem liczby pojazdów i wzrostem pracy przewozowej szczególnie na drogach krajowych. Ale porównanie ryzyka występującego na sieci dróg krajowych w Polsce do ryzyka występującego na drogach krajowych najbliższych krajów europejskich...
