The thesis addresses the design of urban traffic areas and compares the Slovenian, Danish, and Dutch approaches. The focus is on road safety, traffic calming, and the role of vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists. The first part of the thesis covers the theoretical foundations of sustainable mobility and road safety, as well as the national guidelines of the selected countries. The second part focuses on a comparative analysis of traffic design elements such as cycling infrastructure, crossings, intersections, narrowings, and bus stops, illustrated on the case of Likozarjeva ulica in Kranj. The complete street redesign is added as an appendix. The analysis shows that Dutch solutions are generally the safest and most consistent, while Slovenian solutions follow them but are not implemented as systematically. Danish solutions are often less safe for cyclists, but the high level of safety is maintained through traffic culture and mutual respect among road users. The thesis confirms the importance of systematic planning and consistent implementation of measures to achieve safe and sustainable traffic arrangements.
