Assessment of cycling infrastructure within the urban transport network of the city of Osijek

Planning documents of the European Union set the strategic objectives for the development of "green" mobility in urban areas, which is not only justified for environmental, health and transport issues, but it has its direct and significant positive economic effects on both users and society as a whole. Lowland topography of the city of Osijek, as well as the tradition of cycling in the area, favors a growing proportion of cyclists in urban mobility, but to continue the positive trend it is necessary to provide infrastructure that will respond to the growing traffic demand. This paper describes the methodology and presents the results of the existing cycling infrastructure of Osijek. Results of the analysis and assessment of the situation made by the experts were compared with the results of a survey conducted among users of cycling infrastructure. The final assessment of all sections and network segments according to predefined criteria clearly indicate the need to improve the quality and efficiency of existing networks, as well as the need to create clear priorities in construction and management of the cycling transport infrastructure network.
