The development of modern tools for road infrastructure safety management will help to reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries as one of the main objectives adopted in 2013 in the National Road Safety Programme 2014-2020 and the new Road Safety Programme 2011-2020 in the EU. Risk Management in Highway Engineering can be applied in developing tools essential in the process of safety management. Risk Management in Highway Engineering deals with two quite strongly interrelated concepts: risk and hazard. The use of this relationship will allow the development of models for estimating selected road safety measures for the provinces (voivodeships) in Poland, for a network of national roads, using social risk models. For the research the general model of social risk, described as the product of exposure to risk and the level of probability of losses as a consequence of a dangerous incident, was used.
