Abstract: Traffic accidents occur around the world on a daily basis, the situation being the same in the Republic of Serbia. In most cases, the behavior in drivers in traffic and their omissions are the causes of traffic accidents. In this paper, we presented the criminal offense of unsafe road traffic control, and, although it exists in the Criminal Code provisions, it rarely occurs in practice, and even rarer are criminal proceedings against traffic controllers due to omissions in road traffic control, especially in terms of road traffic signalization. We focused on the role of the public prosecutor in carrying out the investigation of traffic accidents, and the need to recognize in these procedures the omissions of not only the drivers but also other traffic participants, as well as the omissions of the traffic controllers, so as to accordingly initiate and conduct criminal proceedings against traffic controllers.
Keywords: traffic accidents; investigation; public prosecutors; traffic signalization; traffic controller.
