The paper focuses on issues regarding the adaptation of specific elements related to the concept of road traffic in Romania, to the existing European / world provisions. The authors took into account the specific aspects of the factors that define this concept, including traffic legislation, environment conditions, road infrastructure, characteristics of equipment specific to road traffic, and aspects of drivers’ education. The authors also took into account the provisions concerning the adopted vision and sustainable road safety. Last but not least, in developing the concept of road traffic safety, the authors considered road traffic statistics from Romania for the period 2013-2015. The authors of the concept of security is the integration frond, with the quality of the road in Romania, considering the intensity of traffic and the environmental pollution. The statistical data covering a period of10 years, the period 2001-2011; fleet during this period registered significant grow the in Romania, mainly in 2006-2008.

Introduction

Traffic safety and organization is an embodiment of the state policy in the field of protecting human life and health, by preventing road traffic accidents and reducing their consequences. Particular attention should be paid to road safety, an issue that is becoming more acute and that is increasing its social significance with the increase in road traffic. Increasing traffic safety on public roads is achieved by taking several concomitant measures. An important part of these measures is linked to the construction of vehicles, starting with the improvement of braking systems and ending with the endowment of cars and drivers with special devices. Increasing road safety is also achieved by improving the methods of designing roads and by perfecting the execution technology of road construction works, in particular the methods of executing the road surface. An important role is played by increasing the traffic discipline on public roads and by spreading the knowledge about traffic safety among drivers, among population and in schools. Road traffic safety can be guaranteed only by the simultaneous fulfilment of the following conditions: a) strict compliance by drivers and pedestrians of traffic rules on the roads; b) good technical condition of vehicles; c) by allowing unhindered movement of vehicles, at a foreseen speed and according to the designed intensity under the conditions approved by the plan and road profile; d) by preserving adequate road conditions for transport and exploitation (flatness, adhesion coefficient) by maintenance and repair units as established during the execution phase, and by timely removal of the influence of external factors, primarily climate-related ones (fog, rain, ice, snow, etc.) e) by properly informing drivers of road conditions and traffic arrangements, by installing road signs, and in some cases, by directing traffic.
