Although decreased from 2001 to 2013, Poland’s road deaths improved at a slower rate than the rest of the EU, leaving Poland as one of the worst road safety performing countries in the EU. The national road network in Poland, despite the dynamic transformation and development, still does not conform to the EU safety standards. Similar situation exists in other EU countries, particularly those in Central and Eastern Europe. Safety standards for road infrastructure show considerable differences in terms of structure and scope. It is necessary to develop new procedures for performing road inspections as the main tool for risk assessment in traffic. The starting point for this should be the analysis of the relationship between the sources of hazard on the road, and the personal and economic consequences of road accidents. The authors of this paper using mathematical models will describe these relationships. The aim of these models is to simulate the effect of a set of different sources of hazards on the number accidents and their consequences on the selected sections of national road network in Poland
