It is noted that despite the fact that the issue of road traffic and its safety is the object of many scientific studies, there are practical problems of administrative and legal regulation of relations in this sphere, which is largely due to an insufficiently clearly defined system of subjects, which requires new views on the activities of public administration in the field of road traffic and its safety. It is stated that modern administrative law regulates a wide range of social relations, inextricably linked with the institutions of public authority and public management, including in the field of road traffic and its safety. In the absence of a normative definition of the term «public administration», individual doctrinal provisions and regulatory legal acts were analyzed.

On this basis, a number of regulatory legal acts were analyzed that empower individual entities of public administration to perform state tasks in the field of road traffic and its safety. The conclusions define the system of public administration entities in the field of road traffic and its safety, and also emphasize that in today’s conditions, the activities of public administration entities are a dynamic process, it can undergo constant changes, and therefore a number of practical issues arise, the solution of which requires in-depth theoretical developments and the development of scientifically based recommendations for the creation and formation of a holistic system of public administration entities in road traffic and its safety.
