The development of roads, a sharp increase in motorization, as well as non-compliance with the traffic rules, leads to an increase in the number of traffic accidents at pedestrian crossings. This article discusses an unregulated pedestrian crossing with a high accident rate outside the city, analyzes the committed traffic accidents and makes a forecast of the number of dead and injured pedestrians for the next year. The methods are considered, the measures to improve the road safety are proposed, and a comparative analysis of the traffic accidents occurrence in some countries is performed.
