This is provided for in amendments to the Law on Road Infrastructure Safety Management, which were approved by the government at its meeting on July 22. According to the bill, the National Road Administration will conduct a comprehensive safety assessment of the entire national road network once every five years. The analysis will include a visual inspection of the road infrastructure—including the use of electronic means—as well as an assessment of sections that have been in operation for more than three years and where the highest number of serious traffic accidents has been recorded, taking traffic volume into account. Based on the results of the assessment, the most dangerous sections requiring priority safety measures will be identified, allowing investments to be directed toward the facilities with the highest risk. A publicly accessible online system will also be created, through which drivers and other road users will be able to report defects in road infrastructure, hazardous locations, and other potential safety threats. The bill is pending approval by parliament. Most of the new regulations are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2028, due to a shortage of certified specialists and the need to develop a methodology for assessing the safety of the road network. By that time, the plan is to train road infrastructure safety auditors and approve the relevant regulatory documents. The explanatory note to the draft cites data from international studies indicating that adjustments to road infrastructure following inspections can reduce the risk of accidents on specific sections by 5–50%, depending on the type of measures taken. // July 22, 2026 – InfoMarket.
