Characteristics of Non-Motorized Participants in the City of Zagreb

Non-motorized road users in urban areas involve two main groups: pedestrians and cyclists. Pedestrians and cyclists, in contrast to motorized forms of traffic, have much greater opportunities in choosing movements and routes. The City of Zagreb, as the largest urban area in the Republic of Croatia, is a quality area in terms of researching the personal characteristics of pedestrians and cyclists. The research of personal characteristics of pedestrians and cyclists in the area of the City of Zagreb was conducted in a representative sample and can be considered relevant. The characteristics of pedestrians and cyclists are the first step by which further research can be undertaken in terms of travel habits and level of safety. The characteristics of pedestrians and cyclists allow the assessment of parameters in different individuals that influence the making of certain decisions and conditions. Based on the obtained parameters, qualitative conclusions can be made about the level of safety of non- motorized traffic in urban areas. The conducted research will show the aggregation of certain characteristics of pedestrians and cyclists that can help create a better picture of mobility and safety of non-motorized traffic in the City of Zagreb. The paper consists of an introductory part, existing research on the subject, data collection methodology, presentation of results, and research-based discussion and conclusions.
