ZAGREB BICYLE TRAFFIC: CHARACTERISTICS: - Aproximately 200 km of bicycle paths do not form a coherent network ( there is no coherent connection between the centre of the city and attractions like: the river Sava, Mount Medvednica and other recreational areas, no link between the colleges and student facilities ..... ) - There are no connected bicyle parking spots - There’s no public bicycle servicing facility - Bicycle traffic has no norms or standards in Zagreb - Legislation is not harmonised with new needs and guidelines

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


CITY’S TYPICAL TRAFFIC ISSUES: Every day, when discussing city traffic, the following is emphasised:

Poor city area interconnectedness problem: - very low capacity of the traffic network, - bottleneck effect – city’s centre accessibility is reduced - problems with organising traffic flow, - traffic network development doesn’t follow city’s growth. Public transportation problem: - tram usage is not optimal, - public transportation is slow, unpredictable and running late, - relation between price, comfort, and security, especially at night - railway is marginalised in urban traffic system, and considered as only a barrier to the city’s growth. Car traffic development is encouraged: - from 1995. to 2005 number of vehicles in Zagreb has dubled (from 176.970 to 367.098) - Car traffic exerts unfavorable impact upon the environment – exhaust gas, noise and ambient devastation - insufficient number of parking spots, - public surfaces are recunstructed in order to enhance car traffic CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.

CO2 emission produced by road transport in Croatia:

Traffic sector accounts for 30% of total energy consumption Out of that percentage, road traffic acounts for 90% of energy consumption and emissions CO2 emission is specific – it has a global effect no matter where it originates (unlike small particles, SO2 i NOx emission acts locally) Most of the reduction measures of CO2 emission contribute to reduction of other emissions, as well as reduction of noise, traffic jams, fuel import etc... 1,380,000 personal vehicles in the year 2005 means 3,2 persons per vehicle – number of personal vehicles will rise to 2,400,000 in the year 2020 (which accounts to 2,00 persons per vehicle, a number already applicabe for some of the members of EU) The increase of 74% in vehicle number, while using the same technology and fuel would lead to the increase CO2 emission to the 10M

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


Baselines for resolving the city’s central traffic issue – Downtown area traffic

 Reducing the number of personal vehicles in current traffic network by 50%  At least 2/3 of Downtown traffic should be in the form of public transportation or non-motorised form of traffic  Formation of passenger-accustomed public transportation respecting the principle “to the centre on foot”  Reducing harmful exhaust gas emission by 15% in the next 15 years  Humanising the street network: – Widening existing sidewalks – Creating new bicycle paths and connecting them into a network – Renewing existing tree rows and seating new ones – Placing benches and other urban furniture – Reserving enough space for open-air terraces for catering facilitites and restaurants

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


PLANNING OF TRAFFIC-RELATED ACTIVITIES AIMED AT CURRENT STATE IMPROVEMENT:

Tram traffic: 1. Closure of low-floor tram aquisition

Public transportation is improved

2. Developing park&ride system by setting-up parking spots at: - Črnomerec tram turning point, - Remiza-Ljubljanica tram turning point, - Dubrava-Dankovečka area, - Ulica grada Gospića-Getaldićeva-Ivanićgradska area, - Horvaćanska cesta-Hrvatskog sokola area, - Remetinečka cesta-Savskog gaja area, - Avenija V.Holjevca-Avenija Dubrovnik area, Sarajevska cesta-Avenija Dubrovnik areainformative distribution 3.-Applying complete logistics with central

At the points of sublimation of public and individual traffic, sufficient number of parking spots is ensured, thus alleviating city centre’s traffic network and increasing public transportation usage.

point and constant audio-visual following of the traffic system (trams and tram stations) 4. Tram network addition: - Connection between Horvaćanska street and Črnomerec turning point - Connection between Dubrava-Oporovečka turning point and Vukovar Avenue via future Borongaj Student Campus - Extending Sarajevska street up to Jakuševec - Connecting Kvaternik square Žitnjak-Radnička cesta turning point - Extending Šoljanova street up to Jankomira Shopping area - Connecting Savska street and Držićeva av., via Prisavlje street - New tramway depot of app. 150 000 sq.m at Jankomir

Reduced costs, ensured fast and efficient intervention if needed Public transportation system is optimised following user needs

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


Tram network development plan: Existing tram network Planned additions to the existing tram network Railway

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


PLANNING OF TRAFFIC-RELATED ACTIVITIES AIMED AT CURRENT STATE IMPROVEMENT:

Bus traffic: a) Continous vehicle upgrading b) Increasing the number of buses for people with disabilities c) Introducing more eco-friendly buses - Sljeme d) Forming new logistics models of bus traffic management with special attention to suburban parts of the city and the transportation of passengers to intermodal terminals and urban railway stations

Public transportation system improvement, increasing road security, reducing costs and increasing traffic network capacity.

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


PLANNING OF TRAFFIC-RELATED ACTIVITIES AIMED AT CURRENT STATE IMPROVEMENT: Urban suburban railway traffic: a)

Building new railway stations, and refurbishing the existing ones /Borongaj Campus, Sava north, Trnsko, Savski Gaj, Podbrežje, Vukovarska, Studentski Centar, TOZ... /

b)

Functional and spatial rationalisation of the existing Central Railway Station

c)

Organising public garages at the points where a greater passenger flow is expected, especially in railway station areas /new stations should always be accompanied by new parking space, size of which should be determined by gravitational area/

d)

West railway station should be converted to a central point attracting passengers using student train and city railway

e)

Some of the railway embankment should be substituted with elevated railway system resting on some form concrete or steel structure /Šarengradska, Jagićeva, Runjaninova, Savski gaj./

f)

Within city area, tram and rail traffic should be combined into one functional system with frequent schedule

g)

A new, two-gauge railroad should be built as a southern detour: Zaprešić-Horvati –Turopolje-Rugvica- Dugo Selo; along with new classification rail yard, this should be completed in 2018. This way, centre of the city should be completIy free of railroad cargo traffic so that existing railroad corridor running through Zagreb should serve only urban-suburban railway transporation.

The existing railroad, with it’s rout from West railway station to Borongay station, is connecting many public and culutral facilities, student houses and colleges, libraries and sports centres, so it must be converted from a physicall barrier to a central integrative element of the city’s traffic system. The required number of parking spots should be provided at the points of sublimation of individual to rail transportation, thus additionally decreasing the city centre traffic load and ensuring optimal use and costs of the railway system.

PLANNING OF TRAFFIC-RELATED ACTIVITIES AIMED AT CURRENT STATE IMPROVEMENT:

Parking issues: 1. Downtown area: Primarily, two groups of users of Downtown parking space are defined: residents od the Downtown area and daily visitors.

• • •

Criteria for Downtown area renewal should be met, along with preserving existing contents (shops, crafts, catering) and attracting new ones (open-air galleries, thematic streets, recognisable tourist routes...) Expanding the existing pedestrian zones and forming new ones Stimulating daily Downtown visitors to park in garages located at Downtown perimeter and encouraging use of public transportation and non-motorised form of moving: – Trams and buses – City railway – Taxi cabs – Bicycles – Walking

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


2. Block perimeter as a public space: • • •

Reducing unfavorable impact of the traffic network to the life of block residnets and to the environment (exhaust gas, noise, ambient devastation) Uprgading parking system “Bringing man back to the street” and making it more humane – Widening existing sidewalks – Creating new bicycle paths and connecting them into a network – Renewing existing tree rows and seating new ones – Placing benches and other urban furniture – Reserving enough space for open-air terraces for restaurants

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


3. Block courtyards: • • • • •

Resident parking should be provided in garages of 100 PS maximum capacity, built within block courtyards. Small public, resident-serving facilities, sometimes specialised but accessible to all age users, should be built above the underground garages (For example small-scale nursing homes with healthcare facilities) Preserving existent green surfaces and creating new park areas Putting up new children’s playgrounds, polyvalent sport surfaces, promenades, preserving and renovating existing ones Improving life conditions for people living in ground floor apartments of the city block

PLANNING OF TRAFFIC-RELATED ACTIVITIES AIMED AT CURRENT STATE IMPROVEMENT: PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC

BICYCLING TRAFFIC

TAXI CAB TRAFFIC

− Once loaded with parked cars, Downtown streets should be redesigned with walking areas and cycling paths, benches and tree rows − An underground passage should be built to connect Tuđman Square and Hall of Sports − Underground passages should be built in areas of intense pedestrian communication in order to make pedestrian traffic more secure, even for people with disabilities (Trešnjevački trg,Physical Trga M.Tita, Kršnjavoga-Jukićeva...) Within the current planning documentation, all precondititons for bicycle traffic development are met (Zagreb Masterplan - GUP, čl.8,22,37,38,39,41,42,56,78 i 98). In order to develop the cycling network more promptly, these actions should be taken: 1. Form necessary standards 2. Draw detailed designs with cost estimates 3. Legislation in concern should be reviewed if necessary, so as to ensure faster development and secure exploitation Primary goal is forming a network out of existing cycling paths: - within Downtown area – connecting colleges, student centre and houses, and all recreational zones at Bundek and Jarun and Boronogaj campus - A Cycling path with all urban furniture and facilities should be Liberalisation of taxi services and introducing competition in set up at the river Sava embankmet between Jarun and Bundek order lakes to get less expensive and more reliable services

Increasing security of traffic participants along with increasing the capacity of existing street network

Development and stimulation of healthy and ecological form of transportation. Targeted numbers: > 12% of bicycle users and > 400km bicycle paths

Introducing competition to the existing system, and making it more approachable to users

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


PLANNING OF TRAFFIC-RELATED ACTIVITIES AIMED AT CURRENT STATE IMPROVEMENT:

Automated traffic management: An ITS (Intelligent transportation system) system should be implemented in order to manage the city’s traffic in an automated way. Priority actions include introducing videosensor- cameras to city avenues i.e. Traffic lights should function in a detecting way, adjusting to traffic conditions.

Capacity of the traffic network and security for participants are increased, and environment pollution and travel time are decreased.

Reasons for implementing ITS: • Increasing traffic participants security • Increasing street network capacity • Reducing environment pollution • Saving time (commuting) and money (gas) MONITORING TRAFFIC AND COUNTING VEHICLES (Matlab video)

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


6. CONCLUSION – PRIORITY INVESTMENTS IN ZAGREB TRAFFIC SYSTEM:

 All countries have their differents ways of funding public transportation and projects, but investments should function for the benefit of most citizens.  Only a combination of - activities grounded on physical planning, - restrictions of individual motorised traffic and - promoting public transportation will lead to solving traffic problems – reducing traffic jams and motorisation sprawl

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


PRIORITY INVESTMENTS IN ZAGREB TRAFFIC SYSTEM : 1. AUTOMATED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT:  Increasing street network capacity  Increasing security of traffic flow for all participants  Increasing quality and speed of service of interventions (ambulance cars, firefighters... )  Getting timely and accurate informations about traffic structure and intensity which are baseline informations for physical planning TODAY’S LOW CAPACITY OF STREET NETWORK, AND REDUCED ACCESIBILITY OF THE CITY CENTRE ARE NOT ONLY CONSEQUENCES OF UNDERSIZED STREET PROFILES AND A NETWORK INEFFICIENT IN TERMS OF GROWING DEMANDS OF INDIVIDUAL TRAFFIC, BUT PRIMARILY A CONSEQUENCE OF NON-EXISTING SYSTEMATIC MANAGEMENT OF THE CITY’S TRAFFIC

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


PRIORITY INVESTMENTS IN ZAGREB TRAFFIC SYSTEM : 2. URBAN AND SUBURBAN RAILWAY TRAFFIC:  Acquisition of new train sets adapted to urban-suburban railway traffic  Investing in new technology  Building new southern railway detour and removing cargo transport from the city  Implementing “par&ride” system (building parking lots near railway stations) at city’s boundaries as well as in commuter starting points of surrounding counties (Zagrebačka, Krapinskozagorska i Sisačko-moslavačka županija)  Creating a distinguished modular design of railway stations and their content  Connecting Zagreb Airport to the existing railroad network  Railroad has capacities to increase passenger load by more than 100%, and also to increase participation in city’s public transportation from 14,5% to 35% CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


PRIORITY INVESTMENTS IN ZAGREB TRAFFIC SYSTEM : 3. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION –TRAMS AND BUSES (ZET) :  Completing acquisition of new tramway sets (short low-floor trams)  Addition to the existing tramway system by adding new lines – connecting the west and east “tram ring”: - connecting Horvaćanska road and Črnomerec turning point - connecting Dubrava turning point and Vukovar Avenue via Bornogaj campus  Implementing “park&ride” system at points of individual to public transportation sublimation  Forming a unified, functional railroad system comprising tram network and city railway  Forming new logistic models of autobus traffic, concentrating on suburban areas and passenger transportation up to intermodal terminals and railway stations at city’s boundaries

CITY BUREAU FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING ZAGREB December, 2010.


PRIORITY INVESTMENTS IN ZAGREB TRAFFIC SYSTEM : 4. BICYCLE TRAFFIC:  Creating bicycle parking spots  Forming public bicycle servicing facilities  Connecting and developing new bicycle paths

5. TAXI TRAFFIC:  Liberalisation of the market and introducing business competition  Stimulating use so that the participation of taxi cabs in public transportation increases from 0,5% to 5%
