Analysis of Knowledge and Observance of Traffic Regulations of Pedestrians and Cyclists in the City Districts of Gornja and Donja Dubrava in Zagreb with a Proposal of Improvement Measures

Biciklisti i pješaci imaju značajnu ulogu u prometu jer predstavljaju skupine koje su podložne zadobivanju teških tjelesnih ozljeda u odnosu na ostale sudionike u prometu. Prometne nesreće nastaju zbog kolizije pješaka i biciklista s motornim prometom, a uzrok tome je nepoznavanje i nepoštivanje prometnih propisa, neadekvatna prometna i oblikovna rješenja infrastrukture namijenjene za kretanje pješaka i biciklista te neusklađeni sustav vođenja i upravljanja prometom navedene kategorije sudionika u prometu. Temelj diplomskog rada jest provedenom anketom utvrditi i analizirati razinu poznavanja i poštivanja prometnih propisa u gradskim četvrtima Gornja i Donja Dubrava u Zagrebu. Očekivani rezultati biti će analizirani te će se nastojati odrediti razlog nepoštivanja prometnih propisa i pravila od strane pješaka i biciklista. Prijedlog mjera poboljšanja poznavanja prometnih pravila i propisa biti će usmjeren na edukaciju i obrazovanje od najranije dobi s ciljem usvajanja istih.Cyclists and pedestrians play a significant role in traffic as they represent groups that are liable to serious physical injuries compared to other road users. Traffic accidents occur due to collision of pedestrians and cyclists with motor traffic. The cause of that can be the ignorance and non-compliance with traffic regulations, inadequate traffic and design solutions for the infrastructure intended for the movement of pedestrians and cyclists, and a non-harmonized system of traffic guidance and management of the mentioned category of traffic participants. The base of this master´s thesis is to determine and analyze the level of knowledge and compliance using a questionnaire regarding traffic regulations in the city districts of Gornja and Donja Dubrava in Zagreb. The results of the questionnaire will be analyzed and the reason for non-compliance with traffic regulations and rules by pedestrians and cyclists will be determined. The proposal for measures to improve knowledge of traffic rules and regulations will be aimed at teaching and educating from an early age with the objective being adoption of said rules
