Problems
international transport corridors with increased traffic intensity as a
threat for young traffic participants and as a reason for deterioration of
public streets;
common traffic safety problems on the border (tired drivers,
differences in traffic rules, traffic accidents, lack of car parking places,
bad quality road information infrastructure, lack of operational
information on criminal border crossings, aggressive road users);
insufficient traffic safety awareness and performance;
border roads have low priority for national funds supporting the road
reconstruction mainly in the cities with higher traffic intensity.
