Abstract

Тhe most vulnerable and unprotected road users are pedestrians. According to the State traffic inspectorate, the number of accidents involving pedestrians in the Republic of Belarus for 2020 totals 1246 cases (35,1% of the total number of accidents), in which 235 people died and 1065 were injured. Places with the most frequent pedestrian collisions:



  • regulated and unregulated pedestrian crossings and intersections;

  • public transport stops;

  • bridges, flyovers, overpasses;

  • and other places not intended for a pedestrian crossing.


According to the strategy for ensuring road safety in the Republic of Belarus “Good Road” approved for 2018–2025, the elimination of factors affecting road traffic accidents (RTA) should lead to a decrease in the number of deaths in road accidents to no more than 350 people by 2025.
