Abstract     The purpose of the study was to determine the number of traffic accidents occurring on Slovene motorways as a result of wrong-way driving, and to define characteristics common to these accidents. The study included traffic accidents documented during the period 1998-2002. The basic source of information was the Slovene traffic accident database. Statistical analysis was done to determine characteristics of traffic accidents and traffic accidents causers, and to identify differences in traffic accident distribution between accidents caused by wrong-way driving and accidents due to other causes. Accidents as a result of driving the wrong way are mainly due to misperception of traffic signals. These accidents are characterized by more severe injuries than other types of accidents. As indicated by the GIS-based analysis, used to identify the highest accident density locations on the road network, the highest accident density was observed in the intersection areas.
Summary     Cilj raziskave je ugotoviti obseg prometnih nezgod zaradi nepravilne smeri vožnje na slovenskih avtocestah in hitrih cestah in opredeliti njihove skupne značilnosti. V raziskavo so bile vključene prometne nezgode od leta 1998 do leta 2002. Osnovni vir podatkov je baza prometnih nezgod v Sloveniji. Značilnosti prometnih nezgod in povzročiteljev so bile raziskane s statističnimi metodami. S statističnimi metodami so bile analizirane razlike v porazdelitvi prometnih nezgod zaradi nepravilne smeri vožnje z ostalimi vzroki za prometne nezgode na slovenskih avtocestah. Prometne nezgode zaradi nepravilne smeri vožnje na avtocestah so v največji meri posledica nepravilnega zaznavanja prometne signalizacije in povzročajo hujše poškodbe kot ostali tipi nezgod. Uporabljena je bila tudi GIS analiza gostitev prometnih nezgod. Največje gostitve prometnih nezgod zaradi nepravilne smeri vožnje so na področju priključkov na avtocestno omrežje
