Sažetak
The work analyses the conflict points between road and railway traffic as points of collision. The growing frequency of both transport modes meeting at the same level results in the growing danger at these points resulting in turn in traffic accidents at collision points requiring therefore implementation of protection measures. Since misreading of traffic signs, unadjusted driving of road vehicles, passage of road vehicles when the barrier is lowered, and inattention of motorists and pedestrians are the most frequent causes of traffic accidents at railroad crossings, adequate and economically optimal solutions need to be found. By solving the above-mentioned problems, using the signal and safety as well as construction measures, the authors suggest solutions which would increase traffic safety at railroad crossings.
