The region of Sofia has the highest road accident death rate in Bulgaria, followed by the towns of Lovech, Ruse, Varna and Plovdiv. The percentage is lowest in Pernik, Turgovishte, Yambol, Shumen and Gabrovo, indicates a risk assessment analysis for the entire territory of Bulgaria by the Road Safety Institute.

The institute uses the Swiss standard SN-641724, as to this moment, Bulgaria does not have an approved risk assessment standard, BNR-Sofia reports. As the official information on the locations with the highest concentration of traffic accidents is inaccurate, Association of Bulgarian Insurers data has been used. According to the Road Safety Institute, the analysis can help the country manage the money spent on road construction and renovation more effectively.
