Study of the Establishment of the Regional Cycling Route Srem

AbstractIn this paper we will present results of the project “Study of the establishment of the regional cycling route Srem”. The overall objective is the improvement of the socio-economic situation of the Srem region within the Danube-Serbia region, by means of building a sustainable cycle tourism infrastructure as a prediction for the development of the tourism sector. The planned route of the main regional cycling routes through Srem area was identified in the Regional Spatial Plan of AP Vojvodina, as a national bicycle corridor. The total route length of 142km and through Fruska Gora mountain is 104km. In addition to this basic route area take into account the other routes that are logical and functional solution for the route Srem. The use of the existing road is mainly for tourism purposes but largely used as a forest road, which affects his rapid deterioration. The area through which the main trail passes is very important but under-utilized tourism potential, given the almost the entire length stretches through the National Park. There are large number of lakes, wine trails, monasteries and other tourist attractions. However, on the primary bicycle route no cycling signs or objects that would provide the necessary services to cyclists exists. Also, there are no maps and other materials that would inform cyclists on the route and to provide the necessary service information and data on tourist facilities. By implementing the results of these Study will significantly increase the attractiveness of the route and will create conditions for the development of the cycle tourism in Serbia.The final project outputs include:1.Analysis of traffic flow- supply and demand on the relevant route, analysis of traffic safety with a focus on the cyclists,2.Defined bicycle route Srem and measures to improve the current situation (the existing infrastructure, critical sections, potential locations for rest areas, services, accommodation facilities, measures to improve bicycle safety along the route trails, guiding the route from the border with the Republic of Croatia, Euro Velo 6 connection with the Srem bicycle route).3.De-tour routes along the main route linked with the important cultural, historical, natural and religious facilities.4.Project signalization and information boards along the proposed bicycle network (unified guiding principles of the presented maps, situational plans of bicycle signals with defined directions in which to set up in GPS coordinates, Detailed drawings of each of the planned panel, Project for signposts installation, Standard solutions for the placement of signs5.Design of the bicycle stations and rest areas (Defined the conditions, the optimal number and distribution of rest areas, locating them only in public land,6.Regional cycling map of the route7.A simple Cost-Benefit analysis
