Abstract: The goal of this paper is to identify advantages of traffic systems on economic development at a national level, and to address undesirable factors of traffic systems with respect to sustainable development. The methods used in this research include the historical method, comparative method, analysis and synthesis, inductive and deductive methods. Research results indicate the extremely negative influence of traffic on the environment and the fact that existing traffic systems are not sustainable with respect to the environment. The fundamental conclusion in the paper is the need to achieve a balance between the advantages provided by transport for economic development and the disadvantages caused by such growth. This balance also guarantees the long-term existence and transport success. One of the most significant challenges in the development of future transport systems is the integration of ecological and environmental goals.
