- I suggest to the government that the speed limit through settlements with pedestrian routes should be 80 km per hour, as in neighbouring Austria (verified at Šentilj - Cmurek). Speed limits should be where they really make sense. I drove through the Austrian villages calmly, without stressful braking after every roundabout, smoothly. Where there is good visibility on the roadway to the left and right, let traffic flow on the main road without additional restrictions. In our country, however, we place restrictions on straight and clear roads as a precaution wherever there is a junction with a side road (Ptuj - Ormož, for example), to protect offenders who take the right of way from vehicles on the main road. But we forget that they are obliged to stop, to check that they can safely join the traffic ... If a restriction is put in place because of an obstruction, repairs, etc., everyone will understand and respect it. However, braking several times in succession on a straight and empty road with good visibility, where there is no apparent reason to reduce speed, confuses and annoys drivers, who end up ignoring the limit even where it is reasonable. - However, I agree with my colleague who suggests that the connections to the main road should be highly visible. I myself drive from a housing estate onto the main road, and there are vehicles parked alongside it up to the junction, including lorries, vans, single-trailers, across which it is impossible to see the road surface. Sometimes I have to get out of the car to see when the road is empty, otherwise my decision to enter the carriageway is like a raffle. So I suggest that the government makes a provision to ban parking of vehicles at least 10 metres to the left and right of the exit on the main road (penalising) or to put mirrors wherever this occurs. NOT THE LEAST, MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT: abroad (Austria, Germany, England, Spain) I even took pictures of pedestrian crossings, measuring the seconds, because I could not believe that I could cross the road slowly and safely and even get across before the traffic lights turned red. I suggest to the government that at four-way junctions, the pedestrian green light should go FIRST, for at least 30 seconds (or as long as it takes a child or an elderly person to cross the road safely, which is not difficult to determine), then the pedestrian red light, and only then the green light for all waiting vehicles on all sides (maybe not even at the same time). What happens on Titova in Maribor, if you turn right/left onto Pariška Kommune, or on Proletarska at the junctions with Ljubljanska or Betnavska (and others) - here accidents are almost daily: even columns of vehicles up to a km or more long wait on the dual carriageways for the redemptive green light (which allows the same number of vehicles even in the worst crowds as when there are no crowds, of course the exhaust fumes and the nervousness of the drivers are appropriate). Then GREEN for drivers. One straight, the other turning, FINALLY! After a few seconds, as drivers start to descend the open roadway, the PEDESTRIAN GREEN is ON AGAIN. Most drivers, busy with the current situation, are not even looking (they don't even have the time or the opportunity, as they have to look at the roadway), so they don't even notice the PEDESTRIAN GREEN. Some brave pedestrian or cyclist rolls through, drivers' faces show resignation because they didn't notice the green light that came on somewhere in between, pedestrians jump, bounce and run, which could even be fun if it wasn't tragic, and then a cyclist or a guy on skateboards chases the right of way of his GREEN light at full speed, causing further shock to drivers. Braking, angry remarks, and unfortunately a collision. If not a collision with a pedestrian suddenly on the road or a cyclist, then a collision with the vehicle in front of you, which comes to a screeching halt. I witness these scenes on a daily basis. Could it not be otherwise? So, as in all of developed Europe, which takes into account the human factor and knows the basics of psychology - ALL PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS AT ALL TIMES FIRST (the most exposed and vulnerable), and then in peace the cars in order or according to the rules. A small thing for a big effect, worth lives, instead of wondering over and over again why so many dead, injured ... at pedestrian crossings. And surely it is not so much the inattention of pedestrians, nor of drivers, but the careless, thoughtless management of the signals.
