ROADS OF THE FUTURE AS SEEN FROM THE JUGOSLAVIAN POINT OF VIEW

ZUKUNFTSSTRASSEN AUS JUGOSLAWISCHER SICHT

Recently the outmoded technology of using combustion engines in motor vehicles has encountered increasing problems connected with the energy crisis and its attendant phenomena. The solution to these problems should be sought in two directions: (1) a new or improved technology in the sphere of propulsion and propellants, and new or improved transport technology. (2) the construction of adequate roads, due regard being had to the economical speeds of engines. The yugoslav road network (above all its primary sector in the form of motorways and arterial roads) has lagged far behind modern construction standards. This lag can be estimated at between 25 and 30 years. Considering, however, that Yugoslavia is an important transit country linking east and central Europe with the south-east of the continent and with Asia, our future objectives are already clearly defined. Our primary task is to complete the construction of the two major European highways, namely the Trans-Yugoslavian Highway (TYH) and the Trans-European motorway (TEM). Secondly, we must complete the motorway network and the network of arterial roads. The guidelines for our future policy concerning road infrastructures and transport should above all take into account the following elements: the complexity of traffic problems in the context of the national economy; the viability of projects; and the protection of the environment, e.g. farm land, drinking water catchment areas, forests, historic places and urban zones.
