Calming traffic through the application of engineering tools can encourage drivers to reduce their speeds.
At lower operating speeds, drivers are better able to react in time to avoid collisions. This is particularly
important around children, who may behave erratically or may not be alert to traffic. “Traffic calming” is
the installation of physical measures that alter driver behavior and improve conditions for non-motorized
street users.
This paper presents a concept of introduction of traffic calming measures and increase of safety in the zone
of the "11th October" primary school in Skopje. Traffic solutions are envisaged that will contribute to
increasing the safety and calming of the traffic in the school zone, in order to protect the most vulnerable
category of traffic participants, pedestrians or children. In addition, traffic solutions are focuses on physical
changes to roadways to achieve traffic calming, specifically to achieve improved safety and accessibility
routes for children. All measures should be properly designed, with appropriate spacing and use of signs,
striping, lighting, and vertical elements where necessary to improve visibility.
