New Traffic Light Installed in Zagreb's Stara Vlaška Street

Zagreb has installed a new traffic light at the intersection of Stara Vlaška and Branjugova streets, a move aimed at connecting two pedestrian zones and improving pedestrian safety. This installation marks a significant step in the ongoing project to revitalize Stara Vlaška street, which has been closed to traffic since 2022.

The city initiated the public procurement process for the comprehensive renovation of Stara Vlaška street in March. The new traffic light is a precursor to this larger urban renewal effort, which seeks to enhance the street's accessibility and aesthetic appeal for pedestrians.

“

The idea is to connect two pedestrian zones and facilitate pedestrian crossing.

This modern traffic light system will operate in two modes: a flashing yellow light with an activated variable traffic sign, and a full signal mode during peak traffic hours. The City of Zagreb stated that the system will be integrated into the smart traffic management system, further optimizing vehicle flow and pedestrian safety.

The project's cost for the traffic light installation alone amounts to 106,500 euros, excluding VAT. The renovation of Stara Vlaška street is expected to transform the area into a more pedestrian-friendly and modern urban space.
