The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
As the area in question is home to a primary school, a large number of children spend time in this area. Ensuring their safety is one of the most important tasks in traffic management. In the diploma thesis, the proposed measures and solutions are divided into: In the first phase, it is necessary to ** repair** damaged sections of the roadway, pavements and kerbs, and to ** replace** outdated and missing traffic signage with missing or appropriate traffic signage.
Problem
As the area in question is home to a primary school, a large number of children spend time in this area. Ensuring their safety is one of the most important tasks in traffic management. Therefore, the aim of her diploma thesis was a detailed analysis of the traffic and urban design in the immediate vicinity of Pesnica Primary School.
Appropriate traffic signage, well-maintained surfaces for traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian traffic, as well as appropriate car parks and bus stops, are important factors that affect traffic safety. Appropriate street furniture also affects both road safety and the quality of the living environment. A detailed analysis of the traffic areas and street furniture in the vicinity of Pesnica Primary School has shown that the condition of the traffic areas does not provide sufficient traffic safety and that this could be significantly improved.
It has also been established that the street furniture is not standardised, and that older elements of street furniture are already ** worn out**. As the area in question is home not only to a primary school but also to a kindergarten, the traffic and urban design needs to be arranged primarily from the point of view of road safety.
Results
In the diploma thesis, the proposed measures and solutions are divided into: In the first phase, it is necessary to repair damaged sections of the roadway, pavements and kerbs, and to ** replace** outdated and missing traffic signage with missing or appropriate traffic signage. The urban traffic design of the traffic areas in the vicinity of Pesnica Primary School includes the arrangement of the ** connecting road** to Pesnica Primary School, complete with the ** arrangement of parking areas, the arrangement of a car park with a separate ** bus stop below Pesnica Primary School, the introduction of a ** speed restriction zone, and the installation and arrangement of ** appropriate street furniture.
As parents bring their children to school by car, four parking spaces have been provided for their needs in front of the entrance plateau, where parking is permitted for a maximum of 15 minutes. The parking spaces are separated from the entrance plateau by a wooden fence. The new car park in front of Pesnica Primary School is intended primarily for parking vehicles of employees at Pesnica Primary School and other visitors to this public institution.
The arrangement of the parking areas will significantly contribute to greater safety for children, who until now have been exposed to various dangers caused by drivers manoeuvring their vehicles on the unregulated roadway in front of Pesnica Primary School. In the speed restriction zone (30 km/h), the installation of traffic calming devices has also been planned, thereby reducing the likelihood of speeds exceeding the permitted limit in the area in question. Appropriate street furniture will also contribute to greater road safety. ** New benches, waste bins, shelters, bicycle racks and street lamps have been installed in the vicinity of Pesnica Primary School.** Tree planting has also been planned, all of which will significantly contribute to a better quality of the living environment.
The new urban traffic design of the traffic areas in the vicinity of Pesnica Primary School will significantly contribute to greater safety for all road users.
