UTICAJ SANKCIJE NA PROMJENU PONAŠANJA U SAOBRAĆAJU/ INFLUENCE OF A SANCTION ON BEHAVIOR IN TRAFFIC

Abstract

Traffic accidents with consequences to life and health of people are a global proble recognized by the United Nations General Assembly. In regards to that they have proclaimed a Decade of Action for Road Safety in order to decrease consequences in road traffic. Five strategic pillars have been systemized: Road safety management, Safer roads and mobility, Safer vehicles, Safer road users, Postcrash response. In order to manage road safety in the first place, it is necessary to be familiar with the state of play, to have defined goals, i.e. desired outcome and know the tools necessary to get close to the desired outcome. Traffic accidents occur on roads, in the field of traffic profession. However, it is obvious that the problem of road safety cannot be solved exclusively in the field of the traffic profession. A polyvalent approach of different professions is required. From the aspect of psychology and pedagogy it is necessary to establish correct attitudes of road users. Well designed and built roads and well equipped and maintained vehicles require involvement of traffic, mechanical and civil engineering professions. Good regulations, efficient judiciary and police are very important factors of road safety and theiractivity largely has preventive aspect towards potential participants in traffic accidents.
