Zagreb's demonstration corridor

The demonstration corridor has a length of approximately 3.5 km and extends from the Main Railway Station on the north along Savska cesta road towards the future “SAVA-NORTH” intermodal interchange (i.e. on the northern side of the Sava River) in the south. Along the Savska cesta road there are several faculties and two large student canteens, as well as a few large private companies which represent the significant ‘corridor attractors’.

The Savska cesta road has been selected as in its present situation. It is one of the most congested traffic arteries, with a large number of tram lines and personal vehicles sharing insufficient space. This results in slow traffic flow and frequent traffic jams. The existing traffic signalization, which is separating trams from rest of traffic, is often ignored. Parallel to Savska cesta road two tracks of the railway presently do not integrate with the city’s public transport system, due to the fact that there are no stations on it now. The area where the future intermodal passenger terminal “SAVA-NORTH” is being planned is now partially used as a bus terminal, with a too small and inadequate interchange, which requires that passengers must cross a complicated single-level crossing to change from a bus to a tram.
