»Magistrsko delo obravnava načrtovanje kolesarskih pasov kot ključni dejavnik za varno in učinkovito kolesarsko infrastrukturo v urbanih okoljih. Osnovni namen dela je bil opredeliti načela in kriterije za načrtovanje kolesarskih pasov, ki omogočajo izboljšanje prometne varnosti in uporabniške izkušnje. Zaradi okoljskih, zdravstvenih in prometnih izzivov kolesarjenje postaja pomembna alternativa motoriziranemu prometu, vendar zahteva ustrezno in premišljeno načrtovano infrastrukturo. V okviru raziskave smo pregledali domačo in tujo strokovno literaturo, ki zajema tehnične smernice, prometno varnost in uporabniške potrebe pri načrtovanju kolesarskih pasov. Ta pregled je omogočil vpogled v različne pristope in dobre prakse ter oblikovanje teoretične podlage za nadaljnjo analizo. Analiza stanja v Sloveniji kaže, da je kolesarska infrastruktura pogosto neustrezno načrtovana, kar zmanjšuje njeno varnost in uporabnost. Na primeru ceste v Rošpoh smo identificirali ključne pomanjkljivosti obstoječe kolesarske infrastrukture, zlasti neustrezno horizontalno prometno signalizacijo, kot so zbledene ali manjkajoče talne označbe. Za podrobnejšo presojo smo analizirali odsek Vrbanske ceste proti drevoredu ter Smetanovo ulico v Mariboru, kjer so vzpostavljeni pomožni kolesarski pasovi. Z uporabo kombinacije metod — analiza dokumentacije, terensko opazovanje, statistična obdelava podatkov in anketiranje kolesarjev na Smetanovi ulici — smo pridobili celovit vpogled v trenutno stanje in prepoznali ključne težave. Anketa je posebej osvetlila uporabniško zaznavo varnosti in udobja. Na podlagi zbranih rezultatov smo oblikovali tehnične in prostorske predloge za izboljšave, ki pomembno prispevajo k večji prometni varnosti ter spodbujajo trajnostno mobilnost.«
»The master’s thesis addresses the design of bicycle lanes as a key factor for safe and efficient cycling infrastructure in urban environments. The primary aim of the work was to define the principles and criteria for designing bicycle lanes that improve traffic safety and user experience. Due to environmental, health, and traffic challenges, cycling is becoming an important alternative to motorized transport, but it requires appropriate and thoughtfully planned infrastructure. Within the research, we reviewed domestic and international professional literature covering technical guidelines, traffic safety, and user needs in bicycle lane design. This review provided insight into various approaches and best practices and helped establish a theoretical foundation for further analysis. An analysis of the situation in Slovenia shows that cycling infrastructure is often inadequately planned, reducing its safety and usability. In the case of Rošpoh Road, we identified key deficiencies in the existing cycling infrastructure, particularly inadequate horizontal traffic signage, such as faded or missing road markings. For a more detailed assessment, we analyzed a section of Vrbanska Street toward the tree-lined avenue, as well as Smetanova Street in Maribor, where auxiliary cycle lanes are in place. By applying a combination of methods—document analysis, field observation, statistical data processing, and a survey of cyclists on Smetanova Street—we obtained a comprehensive insight into the current state and identified the main issues. The survey specifically highlighted users’ perceptions of safety and comfort. Based on the collected results, we developed technical and spatial proposals for improvements that significantly contribute to enhanced traffic safety and the promotion of sustainable mobility.«
