ANALYSIS OF MEASURES FOR TRAFFIC CALMING IN THE SLOVENJ GRADEC

Umirjanje prometa je eden izmed osnovnih načinov, s katerimi v urbanih okoljih izboljšujemo prometno-varnostne razmere in zagotavljamo uspešnejše sobivanje različnih uporabnikov v cestnem prometu. Osnovni cilj naprav in ukrepov za umirjanje prometa je namreč zmanjšati hitrosti motornih vozil, s čimer posledično dosežemo izboljšanje prometne varnosti in izboljšanje pogojev bivanja. V diplomskem delu je prikazana analiza naprav in ukrepov za umirjanje prometa na območju Mestne občine Slovenj Gradec. Preverjala se je ustreznost izvedenih naprav in ukrepov in ugotavljala njihova skladnost z veljavno tehnično regulativo. Med občani Mestne občine Slovenj Gradec je bila izvedena tudi anketa, s katero so bila pridobljena mnenja anketirancev o ustreznosti izvedenih naprav in ukrepov ter njihovi učinkovitosti.Traffic calming is one of the basic means of improving traffic safety situation in urban environments and thus improve and ensure the successful coexistence of different road users.
