The causes of road traffic insecurity are considered, and there have been developed recommendations regarding the improvement and management of the structural safety of aboveground and underground transport facilities at all stages of their life cycle, such as research and design, when security provision is formed; manufacturing and construction, when it is provided, and on the stage of operation when it is maintained.
