![]() ![]() NR2C develops perspectives and specific innovations, so that long-term visions are linked to short-term action. The review paper will serve as the basis for further research of design, traffic safety and the behaviour of pedestrians and cyclists, and their correlation at the LCs in the Republic of CroatiaĪBSTRACT New Road Construction Concepts (NR2C) is a FEHRL-project supported by the European Commission under the Sixth Framework Programme. Also, through a review of the major recent studies on the behaviour of pedestrians and cyclists at railroad crossings, the trends have been presented as well as the results of research. ![]() The paper gives an overview of the existing cycling features in the City of Zagreb and the statistics of accidents on LCs in the Republic of Croatia. Cyclists are often treated like pedestrians but cyclists can travel much faster than pedestrians, which can cause unexpected behaviour. Most research examining road users’ behaviour at LCs has focused on car drivers and there are few studies dedicated to pedestrians and cyclists, especially in Croatia. The behaviour of traffic participants represents the main cause of traffic accidents at LCs. Traffic participants at LCs are pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, car drivers and locomotive drivers. ![]() Therefore, from the aspect of safety they are potentially high-risk traffic points. Level crossings (LCs) are points of conflict between rail and road traffic. ![]()
