Summary: The general principles of designing town traffic areas are
in the existing literature and prescriptions limited on the connection
between vehicles and their speed on one side and the designing elements on
other side. Other factors as geology, morphology, climate, urban
inheritance etc. are not included. Here are the specialities of the Rijeka
region analized from the point of view of designing town traffic areas. The
general principles of designing are modified and complemented in accordance
with the demand of the specific urban and other circumstances of Rijeka
region.
Research goals: The purpose of this research is to find out the
influence of the specific factors (geology, morphology etc.) of the Rijeka
region. This knowledge will be used to complement the general instructions
and prescriptions for the designing of town traffic areas, so that it will
be adequated to specific needs of Rijeka. The expected share of this
research is defining of the criteria for the general appreciation of the
dependency of design elements from town specialities. This could be the
basis (of course after similar research of other towns and their regions)
for complementing the designing instructions and prescriptions generally,
not only for Rijeka. Other information about the project.
