Abstract

The paper deals with problems of influence of parallel parking on urban roads for road traffic safety. It shortly refers to evaluation of normative principles related to parking of road vehicles in the Czech Republic.It presents the results of analysis of traffic participant behavior on the particular section of inhabited area by use of video analysis of conflict situations. Thus it is pointed out to a possibility of application of this methodology in execution of safety inspections on roads, for example.

Summary

Introduction

Lack of parking places in inhabited areas is thorny topic for majority of towns with developed individual road traffic. The drivers are forced to park in the places where it is prohibited by traffic signs or even by law – even at the risk of increase of dangerousness of this place. In the process of observing the conflicts caused by parallel parking the video analysis of conflict situations was used – this method was described in [1]. The principle of this method is in provision of video record of the observed locality and subsequent evaluating the road traffic participant behavior. Other particular applications of this methodology can be found by the interested person e.g. in [2] or [3]
