Returning urban streets back to residents- comparison of different redesign concepts

The focus in modern concepts of redesigning urban streets is not so much on the traffic, but \ud rather the environment in which a man stays and moves freely and when he feels good and is \ud safe. The purpose of current approaches is that the traffic is largely diverted to the bypass \ud roads and so urban streets can be regulated in a way that is attractive and safe for people. \ud There must be still considered that the flow of traffic is running smoothly but slowly. The \ud thesis presents at the moment the leading modern concepts of designing urban traffic areas, \ud based on the creation of a shared space in which different users are equal using areas, where \ud two rules apply: first the speed of movement must be coordinated (limiting the speed and the \ud abolition of priority vehicles) and second, a user should not prevent other users of mobility \ud (fixed objects are located at acceptable locations). Methods used for reducing the speed are \ud listed, including restrictions. The summarised policies were acquired on the basis of \ud experience from abroad. The example of the proposal of redesigning the street IX. Korpus in \ud Solkan, which has emerged as an opportunity after the ring road was built, illustrates the use \ud of concepts that were discussed, where each concept is used on individual sections of the \ud street. The purpose of redesigning urban streets is to increase the surfaces for residents and \ud reduce the speed of motor vehicles as a result of too wide carriageway. We found that on the \ud selection of individual concept and combinations of concepts affects mainly the type of land \ud use, the effects on road users, the need for public areas and the range and limitations that must \ud be considered in each concept\u
