Abstract

The effects of problems related to the design and operation characteristics of a road network determined in the Buca district of İzmir province on traffic safety were investigated in this study. The study includes field observations and accident analyses made in the light of the information obtained from these observations. The problems identified by field observations were collected under 12 main headings, and the relationship between these problems and traffic accidents and vehicle delays in the study area was investigated. During the period taken into consideration, 180 accidents occurred on the roads in the study area, and it was determined that 43,3% of these accidents were side collisions and 28,3% were pedestrian collisions. By identifying the problems associated with the types of accidents, regulations that increase road safety and improve traffic conditions are proposed for the solution of the problems.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, İzmir ili Buca ilçesinde belirlenen bir yol ağına ait tasarım ve işletme özelliklerine ilişkin sorunların trafik güvenliği üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Çalışma arazi gözlemleri ve bu gözlemlerden elde edilen bilgiler ışığında yapılan kaza analizlerini içermektedir. Arazi gözlemleri ile tespit edilen sorunlar 12 ana başlık altında toplanmış ve bu sorunların çalışma bölgesinde oluşan trafik kazaları ve araç gecikmeleri üzerindeki ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Değerlendirmeye alınan süre içerisinde çalışma alanında bulunan yollarda 180 adet kaza meydana gelmiş, bu kazalarının %43,3’ünün yandan çarpma, %28,3’ünün ise yayaya çarpma şeklinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kaza türleri ile ilişkili bulunan sorunlar tespit edilerek sorunların çözümüne yönelik yol güvenliğini artıran ve trafik koşullarını iyileştiren düzenlemeler önerilmiştir.
