Traffic accidents are a daily dangerous phenomenon on the roads in the world, which is worrying, so measures and activities are being taken in the direction of eliminating the causes and conditions of their occurrence, ie. continuous work is being done to increase traffic safety. Traffic accidents today pose a danger that was once caused by infectious diseases around the world.

Recent research has confirmed numerous and significant traffic safety factors. Most of the factors of traffic accidents come from man, his characteristics as a regulator of behavior. This fact obliges the man, the most important participant in traffic, to pay the most adequate attention. The basic assumption that traffic participants, especially candidates – for drivers to learn and train for quality and safe participation in traffic, is a higher level of knowledge, skills, habits, and traffic culture. Unadjusted speed is one of the most influential causes of traffic accidents. For that reason, measurements of compliance with the speed limit in the populated areas of the Municipality of Teslić were performed.
