Abstract

Prometne nesreće predstavljaju značajan društveni problem te osmi uzrok smrti na globalnoj razini. Upravo je iz navedenog razloga sigurnost cestovnog prometa jedan od ključnih fokusa EU koja je 2020. godine usvojila akcijski plan baziran na „Vision Zero“ i „Safe Sytsem Approach“ s ciljem smanjenja smrtno stradalih i teško ozlijeđenih u prometu za 50 %. Program je fokusiran na nekoliko glavnih ciljeva među kojima je i poboljšanje prometne infrastrukture u koju spada i prometna signalizacija čije adekvatno održavanje može doprinijeti povećanju prometne sigurnosti. S obzirom na to da prometni znakovi predstavljaju osnovna sredstva komunikacije između upravitelja cesta i sudionika u prometu, njihova važnost za cjelokupnu sigurnost cestovnog prometa je evidentna. Ipak, zbog kompleksnosti prometnih nesreća i niza međusobno povezanih čimbenika koji utječu na njihov nastanak, utjecaj prometnih znakova na sigurnost prometa je izrazito teško jasno definirati. Upravo je iz navedenog razloga cilj ovog diplomskog rada je provesti analizu dostupne znanstvene i stručne literature kako bi se utvrdile dosadašnje spoznaje, ograničenja i smjer budućih istraživanja vezanih uz utjecaj prometnih znakova na sigurnost cestovnog prometa.

Abstract (english)

Road crashes are a significant social problem and the eighth leading cause of death globally. For this reason, road safety is one of the key focuses of the EU, which in 2020 adopted an action plan based on "Vision Zero" and "Safe System Approach" with the aim of reducing fatalities and serious injuries in road traffic by 50%. The program is focused on several main goals, including the improvement of road infrastructure, which includes traffic control devices, the adequate maintenance of which can contribute to increasing road safety. Given that traffic signs are the basic means of communication between road authorities and road users, their importance for the overall safety of road traffic is evident. However, due to the complexity of road crashes and a number of interrelated factors that affect their occurrence, the impact of traffic signs on traffic safety is extremely difficult to clearly define. Therefore, the aim of this master thesis is to conduct a review of the available scientific and professional literature in order to determine the current knowledge, limitations and direction of future research regarding impact of traffic signs on road safety.
