Abstract
Road freight transport is considered one of the key drivers of trade and logistics. This sector is
taken over by companies that are engaged in the transport of goods and materials via road infrastructure,
providing services to various industries, from that to trade. Along the street network of the city of Bitola,
different flows of goods, materials and cargo are intertwined daily: trade goods, finished products, semi-
finished products, raw materials, building materials, shipments, secondary raw materials, waste and the like.
Bitola is a city through which a large number of traffic flows transit daily, primarily due to its good road
connections with the cities of Ohrid, Kicevo, through Prilep to Skopje, but also, most importantly, with
neighboring Greece. This paper analyses the source-destination journeys of freight vehicles in the city of Bitola
in order to obtain relevant data on the characteristics of freight traffic and its impact on urban mobility. As part
of the research, a survey was conducted with drivers from various transport enterprises that regularly deliver or
load goods in Bitola. The survey data identified the main locations frequented by trucks, i.e. their primary
destinations in the city. The results provide a better understanding of the desire lines of freight transport
movement and constitute a basis for developing measures to improve sustainable urban transport, optimize
logistics processes and reduce traffic loads in the central urban area.
