Bitola faces significant traffic safety challenges, especially around schools, intersections, and pedestrian crossings, putting vulnerable groups like children, youth, and cyclists at risk. Factors such as speeding, poor signage, and low driver awareness contribute to daily hazards and discourage safe walking or biking.
Current measures are fragmented and reactive, lacking a comprehensive, data-driven approach.
This initiative will conduct field research, surveys, and consultations with community members and authorities to identify danger zones and develop a strategic action plan. Proposed solutions include speed-reducing infrastructure, improved signage, safer school routes, and awareness campaigns.
Expected outcomes are a detailed risk map, community-supported recommendations, enhanced institutional cooperation, and increased public awareness—creating a foundation for lasting traffic safety improvements in Bitola.
