A great number of serious road accidents occur all over the world every year. The problem of road traffic safety is still acute in spite of some progress in this area in recent years. Road traffic accidents depend on the following factors: road traffic volume, road traffic speed, weather conditions, driving experience and driving culture of drivers. All these factors are associated with traffic safety, human lives and health. The main goal of this work is to provide the statistical analysis of traffic accidents and investigate the causes, structure, dynamics and seasonal character of traffic accidents on Lithuanian state roads with various road pavements. The data on traffic accidents, traffic volume, traffic speed, as well as the number of injured and killed people and economic losses caused by traffic accidents on Lithuanian state roads in 2004 – 2011, provided by the Lithuanian Road Administration under the Ministry of Transport and Communications, Lithuanian Department of Statistics, Transport and Road Research Institute and Police Department under the Ministry of Interior are analysed.
