The identification of road sections characterized by high risk accidents is the first step for any successful road safety management process, considering the limited available resources. Although researchers started to study black spot decades ago, there are many un-clarified questions in this field. In the identification process of black spots three main methods can be used: screening methods, clustering methods and crash prediction methods. These literatures concentrate mostly on one type of road each time, although road characteristics (i.e. speed, ADT) can highly affect the success and precision of the applied method. Therefore, the most important question to be answered is which method for which road? This question can be answered by comparing different applied methods for different road types. However the comparison of different methods is still not adequately explored areas. This article aims to compare different methods used in identifying black spot, where speed is one of the important road characteristics which is still not adequately explored.
