Roads & Traffic Safety
ADF worked with local communities and governments to reconstruct farm-access roads, roads connecting settlements, town streets, roads leading to dump sites, and traffic safety improvements.ADF has repaired 28 km of roads and streets in 25 communities, constructed 24 bus stops in 5 communities, and improved street lights in 6 communities. The vast majority of such ADF projects (33 out of 36) were implemented in villages.
Impact
- Reconstructed streets resulted in improved living conditions for inhabitants. Citizens had better access to their houses, public institutions, and businesses were also more easily accessible in all weather conditions.
- Construction of asphalt roads to landfills provided year-long access, regardless of weather, to the waste dump, which also decreased the number of illegal dump sites.
- Constructing asphalt roads connecting Roma communities (in Zrenjanin) and refugee settlements (in Rivica and Gudurica) facilitated the economic and social integration of these vulnerable groups.
- Traffic safety was also enhanced by installing signs and traffic lights, reconstructing and repairing street lights, and painting pedestrian cross-walks.
- By better maintenance of ditches and drainage canals, further damage to roads by heavy rain flooding was diminished.
- Installed bus stops improved conditions for daily commuters and other passengers to be sheltered from poor weather conditions.
