Introduction. Compared to European countries, the level of road safety in Ukraine is extremely unsatisfactory due to high mortality and road traffic injuries. Improving road safety is one of the important social problems of our time, which is associated with the preservation of human life and health. Problem statement. The problem of road safety in Ukraine is well visible due to the number of dead and injured people on the roads. Road accidents cause huge social losses for citizens and place a heavy burden on the health care system and the economy as a whole. Reducing injuries from road accidents and saving people’s lives is one of the most important tasks for our country. Purpose. In the article the evaluation of safety level on roads of national importance will be conducted (according to certain indicators), which allows to make a conclusion about the compliance of the road network or individual sections of roads with traffic conditions and, accordingly, to decide on planning and prioritization of traffic safety measures. Materials and methods. The study used the method of statistical data processing for the analysis of roads by safety level. Results. The rating of highways according to the level of safety has been established to determine the priority of the road safety inspection in conditions of limited funding. Conclusions. According to the value of the weighted average coefficient of accident rate and severity of consequences of road accidents, it is possible to draw a conclusion about the general level of road safety. This allows to assess the level of safety on the road network as a whole in Ukraine and within a particular region, which helps to develop and implement measures to improve traffic safety on the most dangerous sections of roads.
