Traffic signaling and equipment for increasing safety during temporary road regulations

Sigurnost u prometu ovisi o ponašanju svih prometnih subjekata, njihovim međusobnim odnosima, uvjetima na cestama, cestovnoj infrastrukturi te imovini aktivnih i pasivnih sudionika. Sigurnost cestovnog promet naročito je ugrožena prilikom izvođenja radova na cesti s obzirom na to da u navedenim situacijama u određenoj mjeri dolazi do promjene načina odvijanja prometa i/ili geometrije ceste te s obzirom na prisutnost radnika i strojeva. Osnovni način upozoravanja sudionika u prometu na navedene uvjete je putem prometne signalizacije i opreme. Prometna signalizacija i oprema služi prenošenju obavijesti o trenutačnom ili budućem stanju prometnog sustava i pravilima kretanja sudionicima u prometu. U cestovnom prometu prometna signalizacija i oprema se dijeli na horizontalnu, vertikalnu i svjetlosnu signalizaciju, te prometnu opremu. U diplomskom rado detaljno je razrađena i opisana tematika signalizacije i opreme u funkciji povećanja sigurnosti prilikom privremene regulacije prometa.Safety in road traffic depends on the behaviour of all subjects, their relations, road conditions, road infrastructure and assets of active and passive participants. Road safety is particularly endangered in road work zones considering that in some measure there are changes in traffic regulation, the geometry of the road and there is also a presence of workers and machines. Basic way of notifying traffic participants of road conditions is through traffic signalling and equipment. Traffic signalling and equipment is used to convey to road participants notifications about the current or future traffic status and rules. In road traffic, traffic signalling and equipment can be differentiated and split into horizontal, vertical and light signalling and traffic equipment. This thesis will elaborate and describe the subject of signalling and equipment for increasing safety during temporary road regulations
