In summer and in autumn people use to spend much more time in the open air, they travel more and the roads are crowded with two-wheelers (bicycles, motorcycles, mopeds) which are infrequent in a cold period of the year. In the middle of autumn when weather becomes cold and traffic conditions get worse the drivers are not yet accommodated to sudden changes in weather conditions. All this increases accident risk. In 2015 the largest amount of accidents occurred in summer and autumn – 897 and 878 accidents, respectively, largest amount of people killed were in autumn and winter – 75 and 72 fatalities, respectively. 17 2.6.

The number of pedestrian-involved accidents was obviously higher in November and December. In this time of year the worsened weather and traffic conditions, a long and dark time of the day negatively affect safety of the most sensitive road users – pedestrians. In order to avoid pedestrian-involved accidents both the pedestrians and the vehicle drivers should be more responsible. Pedestrians should carry reflectors, flashlights or other reflecting elements, should use pedestrian paths, if there are no – road shoulders, should cross a road or street only being confident that this is safe! The drivers should be more attentive, should take into consideration weather and traffic conditions and should choose safe speed in order to timely stop the vehicle. 31 3.1.13.

However, the number of the killed in a dark time of the day was almost three times higher than in a light time of the day. In a light time of the day a large influence on the amount of accidents is made by traffic volume which in the daytime is higher than at night, therefore, more accidents occur in the daytime. In a dark time of the day the largest influence on traffic safety is made by visibility. In the dark it is more difficult for the driver to catch sight of pedestrian. A pedestrian wearing a reflector, a waistcoat or other clothes with reflecting elements can be noticed at a distance of 300 m, and without reflecting elements – only at a distance of 100 m from the vehicle with the high beams turned on. When the vehicle travels with the low beams turned on a pedestrian with reflecting elements can be noticed at a distance of 150 m, without them – at a distance of only 50 m. 32 3.1.15.

Accident severity is influenced by traffic volume and speeds. The built-up areas have a prevailing large traffic volume and lower speeds than rural areas, thus, more accidents occur there, though their consequences are less severe. In rural areas, vice versa, the traffic volume is not large, however, high speeds prevail which cause severe accidents. 4.8.

TRAFFIC VOLUME ON THE ROADS OF NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE A changing economic situation of the country influences also traffic volume on the roads of the country. In a period of economic rise traffic volume on the roads of Lithuania has been rapidly increasing, and due to the recent economic crisis a rapid growth of traffic volume has stabilized. However in 2015 compared to the year 2014 traffic volume in Lithuania has increased by 3 %. 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 5.1.

With the increasing driving speed the time of driver’s reaction decreases and the braking distance of vehicle increases. By exceeding the speed limit the driver takes a risk of not only his life but also of other road users lives. In 2015, by more than 10 km/h the speed limit was exceeded on main roads – by 16.42 % of the drivers, on national roads – by 26 %, on regional roads – by 17.45 % of the drivers. Speeding and inobservance of safe speed is one of the main causes of road accidents. 65 5.11. Traffic volume on main and national roads, 2015 66 5.12.

BLACK SPOTS ON MAIN AND NATIONAL ROADS Black spot – is a location of road where in a section of 500 meters during four years at least four fatal or injury accidents took place and the accident indices (accident density and accident coefficient1 have reached or exceeded the limit values). Such locations could usually be found at the approaches to the bus stops, in at-grade intersections of limited visibility, on road sections with insufficient visibility, vertical and horizontal curves of small radius, on road sections closely overgrown with trees, i.e. on those road sections where, due certain elements of road and its environment, there is a higher risk of accidents. In 2016, 30 black spots were identified on main roads of Lithuania, 14 – on main roads, 14 – on national roads and 2 – on regional roads. In 2016, compared to 2015, on national significance roads 9 new black spots were determined, 15 black spots remained the same (the length of the road section has not changed), 6 black spots migrated (the length of the road section has changed). In the black spots identified on the roads of national significance in the period 2012–2015 as much as 153 fatal and injury accident occurred where 18 people were killed and 207 were injured. 7.1.

Road accidents caused by the road users under the influence of alcohol Drinking and driving are two incompatible things. Specialists affirm that even such a small bloodalcohol content as 0.1 % affects the driver’s brains. With the increasing alcohol concentration in the blood the driver’s reaction and vision worsen.

ROAD ACCIDENT LOSSES CAUSED FOR THE ECONOMY OF LITHUANIA Due to road accidents the Republic of Lithuania suffers economic losses every year. The damage of road accidents directly depends on the number of road users killed and injured. Accident prices are determined according to the Methodology for Calculating Accident Losses2. The amount of damage incurred by the State varies depending on the level of the country’s economy and inflation. In 2015, the damage to the economy of Lithuania due to 1 person killed during road accident amounted to 609 135 €, due to the person injured –55 312 €. Due to the road accidents in 2015 the Republic of Lithuania lost almost 355.71 million €. 9.1.

ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY IN EUROPE AND IN THE WORLD In 2015, based on CARE database information, in the European Union the average number of people killed per 1 million inhabitants was 52. In 2015, in Lithuania 83 people were killed per 1 million inhabitants. A higher number of people killed on Lithuania’s roads per 1 million inhabitants in 2015 was represented only by Latvia (90 killed/million inhabitants), Bulgaria (95 killed/million inhabitants) and Romania (95 killed/million inhabitants). The leading country between the EU Member States in 2015 was Malta where 26 people were killed per 1 million inhabitants. 10.1.

By improving the traffic safety situation, Lithuania makes every effort to achieve that by the number of people killed on the roads per million inhabitants Lithuania would be rated between the top 10 safest European Union countries (or 60 fatalities per 1 million inhabitants). In 2015, the number of people killed per 1 million inhabitants in Lithuania was 108 83. Analysis of the distribution of road deaths by road maintenance authorities showed that 72 % of the total number of road victims were killed on the road sections under the supervision of Lithuanian Road Administration of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Lithuania (LRA) and 28 % of the total number of road victims were killed on the roads supervised by the municipalities. Compared to 2011, when the new strategic goal was set, the number of the killed on the roads of LRA decreased by 18 %, on the roads and streets of municipalities – by 21 %. 10.3.
