Session

Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Environment

Description

Complicated road traffic problems that over the years have failed to be addressed and managed at the right level, adding to the lack of a culture of road traffic, have caused a large number of accidents. Failure to properly manage these problems in the road traffic that came up especially during the period of overcrowding of urban settlements has occurred at the same time by increasing the use of private vehicles. Overall, the problems and causes of accidents within urban settlements can be defined by overcrowding. The lack of any alternative to urban public transport resulted in increasing the use of private vehicles, increasing the number of vehicles in road traffic haven't faced properly the road network by worsening road conditions and road infrastructure, narrow streets and lack of parking spaces have caused worsening even the pedestrian movement. Adding to this situation is the lack of culture of road traffic participants, the number of accidents within urban areas has consistently remained high. The factors and causes of the increase in the number of accidents are different but of course the human factor is more frequent and as such remains the main target for treatment. This paper analyzes concrete cases of accidents that occurred within the urban area of Prizren, identifies the causes of accidents and focuses on reducing these accidents by raising participants' awareness and raising the culture of road traffic.
