There is no need to wait for accidents applying observation of traffic conflicts and behaviour in Czech practice
Ambros, Jiří ; Turek, Richard ; Valentová, Veronika

Traffic conflicts have been one of such indicators; to enable their use in Czech practice, Czech traffic conflict technique and guidelines were developed.

Methodology, observation of traffic conflicts and behaviour, its findings and practical conclusions are reported.
