The Impact of Bus Stop Location on Pedestrian Safety

In terms of road safety, a bus stop is one of the most important parts of the bus transportation system. Within their coverage range, passengers conflict with other traffic participants, and they are in direct conflict with cyclists and motor vehicles. The paper will analyse the level of pedestrian safety at specific bus stop locations. Furthermore, the specific examples of existing bus stops in the City of Zagreb will be shown altogether with the examples of good and bad practices of bus stop locations included. A more clear insight is expected in terms of influence of bus stop location on the safety improvements for pedestrians and improvements in the transportation process within the coverage range of bus stops. The results will be based on basic bus stop implementation theory and examples from practice.
