Project description
The project funded the reconstruction of Primorska Street, improving the access road to the Port of Novalja-South, thereby enhancing traffic flow and accessibility for public and commercial transport.
The project resulted in the removal of 157 parking spaces south of Braće Radića Street, from the existing petrol station to the end of Kneza Domagoja Coast, and the creation of 139 new parking spaces alongside the petrol station and in a new car park parallel to Primorska Street (from Kneza Branimira Street to Punta Mira Street). The reduction in parking spaces is due to the expansion and conversion of the carriageway to two-way traffic, which occupies part of the former parking area. Additionally, the project included the installation of solar benches and solar bus shelters, as well as the implementation of special-purpose horizontal signaling to facilitate disabled access.
Project results
The completed project has resolved gridlock, improved traffic safety, and reduced congestion on the access road to the town of Novalja, Island of Pag. The upgraded road infrastructure in the publicly accessible port area now provides local residents with improved year-round access to employment, education, and essential services, contributing to the island’s economic development and enhanced quality of life.
The project has led to a reduction in traffic congestion, introduced additional public transport lines, and improved existing road, pedestrian, and cycling infrastructure, thereby increasing safety for all road users. The redesigned parking layout and new parking spaces have further alleviated traffic congestion in the town center.
