Abstract

The research of coordination of activities and responsibility-sharing at the appropriate level of road safety management, conducted by analyzing responses from the prepared Questionnaire, in the period before and after the adoption of the Global Plan for the Decade of action for road safety 2011-2020, showed that the improvement or deterioration of the state of road safety at all levels of management, particularly at the local level within Montenegro, can be directly associated with the achievement of coordination of activities and responsibility sharing for the state of road safety. The aim of the paper is to encourage the development of the road safety system in local communities, basing on a vertical coordination in national and local activities and horizontal coordination in activities at the local level, with the establishment of a responsibility sharing system for the state of road safety in local communities.
