Abstract: Traffic accidents are one of the important problems in our country as it in the world. The World Health Organization case reports published in 2015 stated that approximately 1.25 million people died each year and more than 50 million people injured as a result of traffic accidents in the world. Considering this situation, it is seen that traffic accidents are mostly human originated and one of the major problems that is negatively affecting life. In this context, many investments and many studies have been performed on the determination of traffic accident black spots to reduce traffic accidents.
