Abstract
Pedestrians are an integral part of the full-fledged road users. Like other users, they shape the traffic on the roads, as well as subject to all prevailing dependency on the road. Among a group of pedestrians can be distinguished group that will have a different specificity. This group includes people with disabilities. Such persons, because of their limitations, have different requirements for road infrastructure or means of communication. Way to move these people is also different. All these aspects must be taken into account by analysing the group in terms of past accidents on the road. The article presents issues that may be useful in the analysis of road accidents occurred involving pedestrian participants of roads, characterized by physical disabilities.
