Analysis and Proposals for Improvement of Traffic Flow in Alojzija Stepinca Street

Abstract

Pojam organizacije prometnih tokova podrazumijeva sustavno kretanje prometnih tokova prometnom mrežom. U slučaju nepravilne regulacije prometnih tokova dolazi do zagušenja i stvaranja repova čekanja te do nepotrebnih presijecanja prometnih tokova. Ulica Alojzija Stepinca jedna od glavnih i najprometnijih ulica u gradu Novoj Gradišci. Sadašnje stanje ulice nije zadovoljavajuće jer se prometni tokovi ne odvijaju na optimalan način, a razlog tomu je loše dodijeljeni prioriteti prolaska na raskrižjima. U ulici je, također smanjena i sigurnost zbog izuzetno loše horizontalne preglednosti na raskrižjima. Kao rješenje ovih problema predlaže se izgradnja dva raskrižja s kružnim tokom prometa u samoj ulici te jednog u susjednoj ulici radi harmoniziranog odvijanja prometnih tokova šireg područja. Rješenje se temelji na analizi prometnih tokova u gradu, te brojanju prometa. Svrha i cilj ovog rada je otklanjanje čimbenika koji negativno utječu na odvijanje prometnih tokova, kako bi se promet odvijao optimalno, te se razina sigurnosti povećala.A notion of organisation of traffic flows means the systematic movement of traffic flows through the traffic networks. Traffic jams, waiting in lines and unnecessary cutting of traffic flows occur due to defective regulation. Alojzija Stepinca street is one of the main and most crowded streets in Nova Gradiška. The current state of the street is not satisfactory because the traffic flows do not take place in an optimal way, and the reason of that is inefficiently assigned priorities in passing the crossroads. Also, the street safety is decreased due to extremely bad horizontal layout on the crossroads. As the solution of these problems one suggests the building of two crossroads with roundabout in this very street and one crossroad in the neighbouring street for the purpose of the harmonisation of traffic flows in the wider area. The solution is based on the analysis of traffic flows in the city, and on the basis of measurement of density of the traffic. The purpose and the goal of this work is to remove the factors which negatively affect the traffic flows, so that the traffic takes place optimally and that the level of safety is increased
