Abstract: In this paper were analyzed traffic crashes in the Republic of Serbia that occurred as a result of unfavorable weather conditions. A total of 6,875 crashes were analyzed for the period from 2015 to 2023. The aim of this paper is to determine which of the sub-factors has the greatest influence on the number of traffic crashes. The analysis includes three parameters: slippery pavement, the impact of snow, rain, fog, etc., on visibility and the blinding of the driver by sunlight. The research showed that the slippery road has the greatest influence, as a factor that primarily affects the vehicle's controllability. Accordingly, the authors advise regular inspection and cleaning of the pavement, especially after snow and rain.
