This article explores the transformation of the road safety management system from a traditional punitive model to modern "Safe System" and "Vision Zero" concepts. The author analyzes the prospects for implementing international standards of the UN and WHO Global Plan of Action for 2021–2030 into the national legislation of Uzbekistan.
Special attention is paid to new legal mechanisms for increasing driver accountability, such as the demerit points system, liability for "road rage" (aggressive driving), and the legal status of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The study substantiates ways to digitalize law enforcement practices and minimize the "human error" factor by introducing iRAP assessment criteria and the CADaS data standard in road infrastructure design. The article concludes with scientific and practical proposals aimed at the systemic reform of offense prevention and ensuring the rule of law in this field.
