This thesis examines the impact of roundabouts on traffic safety in Slovenia between 2013 and 2023. It focuses on analyzing traffic accident data and explores the role of roundabouts as a safety measure in traffic infrastructure. The introduction outlines issues in traffic safety, including inadequate infrastructure, disregard for traffic rules, and low traffic culture.
The analysis reveals that roundabouts reduce the number of severe accidents due to lower speeds and fewer conflict points compared to traditional intersections. The study delves into the technical aspects of roundabouts, their design, and their impact on traffic flow, along with the specifics of accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists in urban and rural areas. The findings highlight the role of roundabouts in improving traffic flow and reducing emissions.
The thesis proposes various measures to enhance traffic safety, such as implementing advanced signage, adjusting intersection geometry, enforcing speed control, and educating drivers. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of technological and engineering innovations and the need for continued driver awareness campaigns, which can further strengthen safety in roundabouts and on roads in general. This thesis contributes to a broader understanding of traffic safety and offers concrete solutions for its improvement.
