EXCEPTIONAL TRANSPORTS AND TRAFFIC SAFETY CONCERNS

Diplomska naloga, kot nam že sam naslov pove, govori o izrednih prevozih in o njihovi povezavi z varnostjo v cestnem prometu. Najprej bomo povedali nekaj splošnih značilnosti izrednih prevozov in obrazložili, zakaj in kako se le-ti prevozi razlikujejo od ostalih prevozov v cestnem prometu. Od ostalih prevozov se ne razlikujejo le v cestnem prometu, saj se glede na svoje dimenzije in mase delijo tudi med seboj v z zakonom določene kategorije. Pri nas se izredni prevozi zelo pogosto izvajajo, saj skozi Slovenijo poteka zelo prometna tranzitna pot. Izredni prevoz je lahko v cestnem prometu zaradi svojih dimenzij zelo nevaren in moteč, posebej za druge udeležence. Zato za izredne prevoze veljajo posebna pravila oziroma predpisi, ki določajo njihovo varnost in varnost drugih udeležencev v cestnem prometu. Ker izredni prevozi presegajo dimenzije, potrebujejo spremstvo spremljevalnih vozil, ki opozarjajo druge udeležence v prometu, da se na cestišču nekaj dogaja in da je možnost nevarnosti. Med prve dejavnike prometne varnosti pri izrednih prevozih sodi prometna signalizacija. Označitev izrednega prevoza je za njegovo varnost v cestnem prometu bistvenega pomena. Pomembna je označitev tovora, oseb in vozila za spremstvo, potrebna je tudi oprema, ki je z zakonom določena, kot je na primer tabla za izredni prevoz, rumeno utripajoče luči, širinske table, sredstva za komunikacijo med spremljevalci in voznikom tovora izrednega prevoza. Za vsak izredni prevoz, ki se bo opravil, je potrebno pridobiti dovoljenje, katerega na podlagi vložene vloge izdaja Direkcija Republike Slovenije za infrastrukturo. Pred začetkom izvajanja izrednih prevozov je potrebno določeno načrtovanje, prav tako se izvajajo tudi razne aktivnosti med izvajanjem izrednega prevoza, saj lahko izredni prevoz presenetijo razne ovire v cestnem prometu.As we already can see from the title this work is about exceptional transports and their relationship with road safety. At first we will tell some general characteristic about exceptional transports and explain why and how those transports are different from other transports on road. They are not just different form other transports in road, because according to their dimensions and weight they are shared among themselves in the statutory characteristics. In our country exceptional transports are very common because through Slovenia it runs very transport rout. Exceptional transports because their dimensions could be very dangerous and disturbing on road transport especially for others. Because of that there are specific rules and regulations for exceptional transports witch provide their safety and safety others in road transport. Exceptional transports because of their dimensions need escort vehicles, which are there to warn that on road is something and that there is possible for danger. One of the most important factors in road safety for exceptional transports is the traffic sign. Signs on exceptional transports are very important for their safety on road. It is also important that exceptional transports has all of the equipment which is defined by the law and most important are boards for the width, board whit the inscription exceptional transport, yellow flashing lights and communication means between truck driver and escort driver. For every exceptional transport that will be conducted we must have permit, which on the base of the application is issued by Slovenia Agency for Infrastructure. Before conducting the exceptional transport there must be a lot of planning there are also many activities during exceptional transport, because there could be a lot of different obstacles on road
