Road Safety in the System of the State Policy of the Country

The article considers the problem of ensuring road safety as a priority task of the state policy of the country. In Russia, the problem of accidents has become particularly acute in the last decade due to the mismatch of the road and transport infrastructure with the needs of society and state in ensuring road safety. Effective work in this area helps to reduce the depopulation, as well as the economic costs associated with the consequences of road accidents, which contributes to the socio-economic development of the country. Therefore, the problem of ensuring road safety within the framework of state policy has not lost its immense urgency and the State Road Safety Inspectorate (GIBDD) and, above all, the traffic police officers (DPS) of the GIBDD play a significant role in its solution. The problem of road safety should be solved at the level of an independent national project. Solving a huge complex of tasks in the field of road safety should become one of the main state priorities for ensuring Russia's demographic security.
