The results of speed measurements using a GPS system conducted in Radom are presented. Potential possibilities for analyzing the data obtained from the measurements are also indicated.One of the most significant factors determining road safety is the set of parameters characterizing the traffic and road situation. The road directly and indirectly contributes to nearly one-third of accidents. The lack of hierarchy and the associated lack of access control, as well as the limited scope of segregation of different types of traffic, create conditions for dangerous behavior by road users [4,8]. These behaviors have different characteristics depending on the specific features of the road environment in built-up and non-built-up areas. The traffic characteristics of individual road users and entire traffic flows in these areas also differ [4,8]. Therefore, it becomes essential to assess the basic parameters characterizing the specific behaviors of both individual road users and the entire traffic flow in relation to the road environment in urban and extra-urban traffic conditions.
