Impact of the Modern Roads on the Environment and Protection Measures

Razvitkom prometa dolazi do poboljšanja gospodarskog sustava određene države te dolazi i do porasta životnog standarda. Međutim, suvremeni promet sve više narušava okoliš i prirodu, a posebice u tom segmentu prednjači cestovni promet. Emisije ispušnih plinova onečišćuju zrak, a daljnjim razvojem prometa dolazi i do onečišćenja tla i voda, ali i narušavanja kvalitete života ljudi jer se pojavljuje i neizbježna buka i vibracije. Osim toga, razvitkom prometnica koje su bitne za cestovni promet dolazi i do narušavanja okoliša pa se stoga sve više pribjegava mjerama za očuvanjem okoliša. Stoga Europska unija, samim time i Republika Hrvatska, razvija zakone, propise i strategije za smanjene emisija ispušnih plinova te implementacije raznih mjera kojima bi se očuvao okoliš te zaštitila flora i fauna. Razvoj gospodarstva stoga treba biti u korelaciji sa zelenim politikama.With the development of transport, the economic system of a certain country improves and the standard of living rises. However, modern traffic is increasingly disrupting the environment and nature, and especially in this segment, road traffic is in the lead. exhaust gases polute the air and with the further development of traffic ther is pollution of soil and wate, but also the deterioration of people's quality of life, as the inevitable noise pollution also occurs. Furthermore, the development of roads that are important for traffic leads to environmental damage, and therefore there are needs for environmental protection. Therefore, the European Union, and thus the Republic of Croatia, is developing laws, regulations and strategies for reducing exhaust emissions and implementing various measures to preserve the environment and protect flora and fauna. Economic development should therefore be correlated with green policies
