The traffic safety on intersections is influenced by a lot of external factors – for example by inappropriately designed building elements. Inadequate radius of corners, narrow traffic lanes etc. can cause dangerous situations – above all, during passage by large vehicles. The paper describes conflict situations on intersection which are caused by inappropriately designed building elements above mentioned. The paper points out possibility of use of video analysis of conflict situations for monitoring of these phenomena and also necessity of correct verification of passage through intersection by rupture curves.
