Starting points for the design and use of urban intersections

U radu je navedena osnovna podjela raskrižja u ovisnosti o grupi i funkciji cesta koje čine raskrižje te su opisana svojstva raskrižja u naseljima. Navedeni su opći oblici raskrižja u naseljima te su opisani osnovni zahtjevi u pogledu njihovog oblikovanja i korištenja: sigurnost prometa, odvijanje prometnih tokova te utjecaj raskrižja na okoliš i prostor. Poseban naglasak je stavljen na zahtjeve nemotoriziranih sudionika u prometu (pješaci i biciklisti) pri oblikovanju raskrižja u naseljima. Opisani su načini vođenja pješačkog i biciklističkog prometa u raskrižjima.This paper presents the basic division of intersections depending on the group and function of the roads that make up the intersection and describes the properties of intersections in settlements. The general types of intersections in settlements are stated and the basic requirements regarding their design and use, such as traffic safety, traffic flows and the impact of intersections on the environment and space, are described. Special emphasis was placed on the requirements of non-motorized road users (pedestrians and cyclists) when designing intersections in settlements. Ways of conducting pedestrian and bicycle traffic at intersections are also described
