The research presented aims to study rural roads of national interest in the province of Villa Clara, located in central Cuba, in order to analyze road safety in the sections that make up that network. Characterization is made of the vehicular accident, by a process that involves five aspects and includes the determination of an order of hazard. In addition, we examine the influence of each of the components of the system of road safety in the accident and their interrelation. The study area is the province of Villa Clara, which is particularized for the contribution to road safety, elements on the road from the analysis of patterns of traffic accident reports in three stages, contributing thus the proposed measures, regulations or conservation actions for the reduction of traffic accidents as a result of greater awareness of their causes.
