Abstract
The cities of Europe are characterised by a concentration of traffic demand, resulting in road congestion, low safety levels, environmental pollution and devastation, and high costs that afflict all traffic participants. The satisfaction of traffic participants is proportional to the duration and cost of travel. As most cities and towns are also tourism destinations, they need to organise and manage traffic to ensure good mobility for residents and visitors alike. The primary objective of this study is to identify the elements of mobility and to single out traffic solutions that are capable of bringing about the reduced use of automobiles in destinations and have been verified and accepted by consumers in some European cities. The methodology of the European Commission (TNS Opinion & Social, 2014) was applied in studying the opinions and behaviour of traffic participants in the Republic of Croatia to determine what action is needed to increase mobility in Croatia’s cities with the least investment cost and in the shortest time possible.
