The theme to be elaborated in this final paper carries the name "Road as a Traffic Safety Factor", and has been elaborated through seven separate chapters. In the first chapter, an introduction to the theme was made and something superficial about it was said. After the introduction, the second chapter follows the main provisions of the Road Act with regard to road design and the Road Maintenance Ordinance. Thirdly, the main factors of road safety are described, and they are: man, vehicle, road, road traffic and incident. Of them five, man is the factor that most influences the road traffic safety with 85% of the total share. The remaining 15% falls to the remaining four factors, while the vehicle stands out as the factor with the lowest percentage of all affecting the safety itself. After that, it follows the fourth chapter in which attention is dedicated to the concept of traffic accident as a road safety factor and to general things about it. General matters relate to a detailed breakdown of traffic accidents by various segments, on the investigation of traffic accident and on all actions related to it, and ultimately on the responsibility of each individual in traffic accidents. Chapter five refers to some interesting statistics in the Republic of Croatia related to roads, traffic accidents and road traffic safety. The statistical data itself was collected and published by the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Croatia. Additional attention is given to statistical data related to the Brodsko-Posavska County and Slavonski Brod and Nova Gradiška. Following the statistics, the sixth chapter is followed, detailing an example of a traffic accident in which the road as a factor of road traffic safety was the main culprit. The whole work is concluded in the seventh chapter, where a synthesis of all the presented and presented is briefly made.
