Project Summary:
This project aims to simplify and accelerate the transport by vehicles and bicycles which will be achieved in the following ways:
- building bicycle paths in Serbia: Subotica, the settlements Bački Vinogradi and Kelebija, and in Hungary – in Tompa and Ásotthalom;
- planning bicycle paths in Subotica and Tompa;
- removing bottlenecks at border crossings by defining the model of regulating traffic management.
The main objective will be achieved by constructing the bicycle paths on the both sides of the Hungary-Serbia border. The project intends to optimize the traffic in the border zone. Additionally, by planning and construction of bicycle paths, the project aims to give an opportunity to those who use bicycles as means of transport and as a recreational activity, to arrive to and quickly cross the border from both sides. Furthermore, development of the new bicycle paths will ensure safe biking across the border and the environmental protection (reduction of CO2 emission).
