– In this paper, an extensive analysis of the number of access points on a rural road network in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been performed. The HCM methodology defines that each access point adversely affects the speed of free traffic flow. The negative impact is quantitatively shown through 19 sections of rural roads, as well as a trend of reducing traffic flow speed on each of the analyzed sections. By analyzing and synthesizing the data, the values obtained indicate that access points affect reducing free traffic flow speed in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina twice more than in the Republic of Srpska. The analysis also shows the spatial distribution of accesses points on the main roads section, which has been measured on 200 m subsections. Keywords – access points, traffic flow, speed.
