In the article the authors consider general social and special-criminological measures of prevention of criminal offenses in the field of road safety. It is pointed out that, for the most part, such criminal offenses are the result of criminally unlawful negligence and arrogance. Therefore, it cannot be said that the lion's share is committed by drivers with direct intent in order to obtain socially dangerous consequences. There are still cases caused by traffic violations by pedestrians, which significantly complicates the forecasting of such illegal acts, and therefore the timely creation of precautionary measures. The author points out that conditionally all the reasons related to the violation of traffic rules can be divided into: 1) the reasons due to the negligent attitude of the driver to perform their duties on the road (intoxication, loss of attention, etc.); 2) the reasons caused by careless attitude of pedestrians to traffic rules; 3) the reasons caused by the careless attitude of employees of service centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to performance of the duties. Thus, the main unifying factor is the negligence of the subjects involved in the organization of traffic. It is concluded that a number of criminological strategies for the prevention of criminal offenses in the field of traffic have been successfully implemented in our country. However, most of these strategies do not meet the requirements and realities of today, and therefore the criminological picture of traffic accidents remains consistently negative. This indicates the need to revise general social and special criminological measures and means of prevention, which will not only reduce the number of such socially dangerous acts, but also improve the general criminal law and criminological statistics.
