An "in situ" speed, taken as a significant roundabout-design element, is analysed in the paper using as an example four urban single-lane roundabouts located in the City of Zagreb. The American method and the Australian method are used for the definition and verification of the design speed at roundabouts. Results obtained show correlation between the design speed and the actual vehicle speed measured at roundabouts. Key words: single-lane roundabout, urban area, dimensioning and design, vehicle movement trajectory, vehicle speed Prethodno priopćenje Hrvoje Pilko, Davor Brčić, Nikola Šubić

Parking, as a natural consequence of the use of personal vehicles, is the activity which can successfully manage the overall demand for transport using personal vehicles. Many cities around the world use parking policy as a good mechanism for managing demand for transport. The aim of this paper is to present a model of transportation demand management policy of parking in the City of Zagreb, and on the basis of the analysis, suggest future directions of the overall transport and parking policy in the City of Zagreb.

Since the existing roundabout dates back to 1985, the design solution with tangential merging of three-lane approaches provides an additional cause and reason for reduced capacity and safety component of the entire intersection. In the new urban, and commercial and spatial surrounding, with the help of radical reconstruction it is necessary to achieve a modern design solution, for which purpose extensive interdisciplinary research was conducted. Common multidisciplinary methods and criteria are presented in six proposed design solutions, with particular focus on the capacitive-safety and design elements and their interrelations.
