 Road crashes have become a major problem in many countries around the world, with negative social and economic consequences. This paper examined the situation in Cluj County, Romania, focusing on four main aspects, causes, effects, injuries and deaths, occurrence by road type and location within and outside urban areas. The results showed a decrease in road crash incidents from 2019 compared to 2009, with the greatest decrease seen in the number of deaths, especially on national roads and urban streets. However, certain categories of triggering factors remained persistent, such as driver behavior and pedestrian behavior. To improve road safety, further measures are necessary to reduce the number of crashes and fatalities, including increased enforcement of traffic laws, improved driver education, and better road infrastructure.
