Zagreb is appreciated for its rich history, picturesque views, beautiful architecture from different periods and plenty of parks and cultural attractions.
Zagreb's REALLOCATE twin city: BUDAPEST
LAB - holistic solutions for the Central traffic corridor
Location: Unsafe intersection of Selska – Horvaćanska Street.
The pilot will focus on a dense urban area with high volumes of vulnerable road users (including pedestrians, cyclists, children, elderly and people with disabilities) as well as high traffic volumes. The area is adjacent to the main pedestrian zone in Zagreb’s city centre where several intersections on a main traffic corridor are highly unsafe.
The pilot will test safety and design solutions on the traffic corridor using 700 cameras located around the city for vehicle counting. The cameras and radars automatically acknowledge priority to different street users. Additionally the aim is to use smart traffic lights in signalised intersections and implement mobility solutions to prioritise public transport and active modes of transport, such as innovative pavement and intersection redesigns and new bike lanes resulting in more liveable, safer, and climate-friendly spaces.
