Primerjalna analiza sredinskih otokov kot ukrepov za umirjanje prometa na zmanjšanje hitrosti motornih vozil [Elektronski vir]
Renčelj, Marko, 1973-
Today it is already common knowledge, that traffic calming began simultaneously in Europe and Australia when efforts were made to change driver's behavior to make streets safer for children, ...pedestrians and cyclists. In The Netherlands traffic calming was "developed by urban planners and traffic engineers who realized that the well being of people was influenced not only by housing but also by the surrounding streets. It was not enough to improve housing without making the roads more congenial places." According the definition, traffic calming is a "combination of mainly physical measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver's behavior and improve conditions for non-motorized street users." Traffic calming measures (all kind of devices, applications etc.) arebecoming more frequent in Slovenia as well, especially in the last few years. Slovenian Law on traffic safety from year 1998 defines measures and devices for traffic calming. According to the law traffic calming devices arephysical, lighting or others devices and obstructions that: - physically prevent the participants in road traffic to drive with inappropriate speed and - warn the participants in road traffic to speed limit on dangerous sections of road. In the year 2000 Ministry of Traffic published the technical specification "Measures and devices for traffic calming". These specifications define more precisely the usage of traffic calming devices. One of the traffic calming measures are also raised traffic islands, which are located along centerline of road or street. They could be combined with lane narrowing. Center islands are sometimes called midblock medians, median slow points or median chokers. In Slovenian roads and streets center islands as traffic calming measure are used above all: - at the beginning of cities and settlements; the drivers are warned that they should reduce their speed to the limited value; - at cities/settlements; pedestrian protection at crosswalks prevent prohibited vehicle maneuver, etc. ntention of the presented article is to shown the results of the research, which was done, on several locations in Slovenia. These locations represent places, where the raised traffic central islands at the beginning of the settlement are settled down as an element of traffic calming. Research was based - beside the other things - on the real measurement of speed of the motorized traffic (motor vehicles) with laser equipment. In the article are presented the results of the speed measurements and analysis, which were performed. At the end are presented and demonstrated, what is real impact of such raised central island on the observed locations to: -the real speed of motor vehicles, -reduction of speed of motor vehicles at the beginning of the settlement, -and to the traffic safety.
