Road Safety at Intersections and Roundabouts: A Case Study

Original language description

The aim of this paper is to familiarize the reader with a case study of road safety assessment at two basic types of intersections: crossroads and roundabouts. The paper first describes the individual shapes of intersections and then introduces two sites where in the past crossroads were rebuilt into roundabouts because of road safety and traffic flow fluency. From the statistics of traffic accidents registered since 2007, data on the number and severity of all traffic accidents registered in the given locations since that year were obtained. By means of a mutual comparison of these data, it was possible to find out whether or not the measures based on the changes in the shape of the intersections were really effective in terms of road safety. With reference to the above, the final part of the paper outlines other ways of achieving higher road safety at such important road constructions.
