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.
