Catastrophic travel infrastructure, inadequate traffic signaling, insufficient rigorous sanctions, road ramping, but also all frequent use of mobile phones are just some of the reasons for increasing accidents and losing lives on BiH. Roads.
In traffic accidents last weekends were killed five, and 11 people were injured. All five people were killed in accidents on Saturday, and in four accidents, motorcycle drivers participated.
These cases are only the last in a series of tragedies in which human lives are lost, and “black statistics” are suffered in bh. Roads, unfortunately, is increasing. On the causes of rising traffic accidents, but also with numerous other issues for Klix.ba spoke a graduate engineer’s engineer and the expert witness Enver Abadzic.
“When we talk from the aspect of expertise and investing the causes of traffic accidents, as well as in greater material damage are the factors of transportation, contempt of traffic regulations, but there is an essential cause that the regulations did not process, and that is the use of a cell phone when driving a vehicle, “says Abadzic.
Poor travel infrastructure
The travel infrastructure in our country is far from satisfactory and secure, which represents fertile ground for potential tragedies. Holes, bad and insufficient traffic signaling. Crowds, slowness, deadlines, striking, heavy and frequent accidents – are all the first associations on the quality of travel infrastructure in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite the large amount of money invested, BiH’s travel infrastructure is among the worst and most dangerous in the region.
“When we talk from the aspect of roads, are the roads catastrophic? They were on the highway, regional, local, are all of them on the properly regulated roads that create the overload of roads where the overscalances that increase the danger of The creation of traffic accidents, “Abadzic points out.
A large number of suffered people are young people
Unfortunately, most suffered in traffic accidents, as well as those accidents, are young people who demonstrates the lack of preventive action that is reflected in the education of emerging, avoidance, but also reaction in potentially dangerous situations.
“It is necessary for young people to indicate dangerous situations, which means that the road passes in that seconds, whether we are aware of 72 km. For such a way, we are responsible for this, and parents and educational institutions, although I have the impression that schools are less smaller Educational institutions. When we note all of the above, I fear that we cannot even expect anything better, “Amadzic emphasizes.
Apart from young people, more and more victims in traffic accidents are motorcyclists. Only in the past days in traffic accidents, five motorcyclists participated, of which two were killed death while others suffered heavier bodily injuries. Excessive speed, unobserving safety equipment, but neither laid driving test are just some of the reasons for the growing number of tragedies.
“It’s not just motorcyclists, this is all the persons who manage the vehicles on themselves, or any physical obstacle, and notice great disrespectfulness, which in addition to dynamic, the ways of roads that do not meet the conditions. We have The situation that a large number of motorcyclists do not have the examination of the appropriate category for two-wheeler management, which is also an important factor when we talk about this topic, “Abadzic warns.
Law on hold
The long-awaited proposal to amendments to the Law on Traffic Safety in BiH to define the Bahata Ride, which would mean stricter sentence for the laws of the law, is still just a dead letter on paper.
The initiative that SDP CEO of Saša Magazinović and Jasmin Imamović proposed from the SDP Club proposed at 27. The regular session of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina received a unanimous majority in the first vote. Although in most European countries, the ride is clearly defined and draconically punished, Abadzic believes that in BiH, the mentioned law would not make a significant difference.
“In my opinion, we still have the legally regulated sanctions in the form of finishing the vehicle as well as the prohibition of vehicle management, and the conclusion is concluded that for aggressive drivers, it is nothing. In my deep conviction, the accident does not. It is due to this when someone exceeds the speed for 10 or 20 km / h, because we are 40 km / hrs at such stocks are created, columns that leads to the rise in young drivers who then cover those columns, “he said.
In the end, he added, and what would be a better solution.
“It would be better to introduce the normal speed of traffic on certain shares, especially in those parts where the signalization of vehicles is to be considered. Those who are in the roads and those who introduce such low speeds, but also the ones that extend them to a large extent They exceed, “Abadzic concluded.
We also sent an inquiry on this topic and the Faculty of Unsa Traffic and Communications. However, their answers have failed to give us a hint of solutions all the more present in many cases of deadly problems.
When asked when we can expect amendments to the Law on Traffic Safety and whether the mentioned changes, in their opinion, will contribute to reducing the mortality in BiH. Drums, we got the following answer:
“The Ministry of Communications and Transport of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the competent communication and turnover, which may initiate the reduction of road mortality as a result of amendments to the law without insight into the content and problem area treated with potential amendments.”
In further response, they have emphasized that in the past weekend, five people lost their lives, regarded, was observed as statistically compared to previous indicators of the number of dead annually, a very negative increase. However, they say that it is ungrateful to talk about the causes of traffic accidents, because every traffic accident has unique specifics, circumstances, conditions and causes under which it occurred, writes Clix.
