Road traffic safety in Vietnam is one of the top social concerns due to the complicated situation of traffic accidents, requiring in-depth research to find appropriate solutions. Macroscopic evaluation of traffic safety is one of the effective ways to prevent and reduce road traffic accidents. The paper presents a new method based on an Equivalent Severity Score (ESS) to evaluate road traffic safety in an area using a geographic information system (GIS) tool, namely QGIS. The road traffic accident (RTA) data from 2021 to 2023 in Tuyen Quang province, Vietnam, was used to analyze and test this method. First, the RTA data was divided by the administrative units of Tuyen Quang, using several evaluation indicators, including the number of traffic accidents, fatalities, serious injuries, and slight injuries. Then, the ESS was determined based on these evaluation indicators to measure the seriousness of RTA across the administrative units. Finally, the ranking of road traffic safety of administrative units is presented by using QGIS software. From there, the traffic authorities can easily understand areas where RTA occurs more seriously and provide reasonable solutions. The results of the paper will help traffic authorities have more basis in making decisions related to solutions to solve traffic problems not only in Tuyen Quang province of Vietnam but also in other localities
