A trend of increasing traffic accidents involving vehicles has been observed, which requires proposed measures to prevent the occurrence of wildlife on risky sections of roads. Before implementing the relevant measures, it is necessary to rank the risk sections on the roads from the occurrence of wildlife. Roads pass through the natural habitats of wildlife, so with each kilometer of newly built roads and with each newly registered vehicle, the probability of a vehicle colliding with wildlife increases. The problem of increasing the number of encounters with game is expressed both at the global level and in the territory of the Republic of Croatia. Traffic accidents related to vehicle crashes into wildlife are a major problem of road safety on the road network. The paper presents an analytical hierarchical process of AHP methods, multi-criteria evaluation on the example of ranking dangerous sections from the occurrence of large game on state roads of Lika-Senj County. The AHP method is one of the most well-known methods of multicriteria analysis, which consists of goal, criteria and alternatives. The ranking of dangerous sections from the occurrence of large game on the state roads of Lika-Senj County by the AHP method includes qualitative and quantitative criteria. The AHP method of multi-criteria evaluation of dangerous stocks from the appearance of large game was presented with the software tool Expert Choice. The obtained results rank the dangerous sections from the occurrence of large game and define the priorities of their rehabilitation from the competent authorities.
