The development of traffic accidents with regard to the exit restrictions for Covid-19 in spring 2020
Abstract
The Covid-19 epidemic in our country since March 2020 has affected the lives of road users in several areas. In order to reduce the number of infections, national and local measures have been introduced. Among these, there were several regulations that road users had never encountered before. The curfews were prominent among them. The aim of the research, in accordance with the regulation, was to explore the characteristics and features of road traffic accidents in the 30 days following the introduction of the curfews.References
