Abstract

Ritem življenja je v dandanašnjem času zelo hiter. Spremenili smo način življenja in prevzeli nove vrednote. Mobilnost nam predstavlja nujnost. Ne predstavljamo si več življenja brez prometa, hitrih cest, napredne cestne infrastrukture in visoko tehnoloških prevoznih sredstev. Promet nam omogoča razvoj, ima pa tudi slabo plat. Poleg onesnaževanja, vsako leto tragično v prometnih nesrečah zgubi življenje vse preveč ljudi, še več pa je huje ali lažje telesno poškodovanih. Država si prizadeva za zmanjšanje posledic prometnih nesreč. Posebno ogrožene skupine v prometu so otroci, starostniki, invalidi in tisti, ki so nezmožni skrbeti sami zase. Te ranljive skupine je potrebno še posebej zavarovati. Otroci med bolj ogrožene v prometu spadajo zaradi svoje nepremišljenosti, neizkušenosti in igrivosti, medtem ko se starejši spopadajo z drugimi težavami. S starostjo začnejo slabeti psihofizične sposobnosti. Slabenje sluha, vida, kratkoročnega spomina in hitrost gibanja spremljajo vsako staranje. Potem so tu še razne starostne bolezni: bolezni srca in ožilja, nevrološke bolezni, bolezni notranjih organov idr. S procesom staranja pa slabijo tudi vozniške sposobnosti in s tem narašča tveganje in ogrožanje starejših v prometu. Starostniki so predvsem ogroženi kot pešci in kolesarji. Vsako leto je največ pešcev in kolesarjev poškodovanih ali mrtvih v starostni skupini nad 65 let. Veliko mladih se ne zaveda težav, s katerimi se spopadajo starejši, tako so do starejših velikokrat nestrpni, starejši pa so vse premalokrat kritični do svojega zdravja in vozniških sposobnosti. Velik pomen na varnost starejših udeležencev v cestnem prometu pa ima tudi cestna infrastruktura in prometna signalizacija. Z zdravim načinom življenja, gibanjem in dodatnim izobraževanjem je mogoče upočasniti upadanje vozniških sposobnosti in tako podaljšati kvalitetno mobilnost med starostniki. Starejši pa imajo, tako kot tudi ostali, možnost dodatnega usposabljanja oz. treninga. S treningom starostniki obnovijo svoje znanje in se seznanijo z novostmi.

Secondary abstract:	The pace of life in today's time is very fast. We have changed the way of life and have taken on new values and mobility represents a necessity. We can’t imagine our life without traffic, highways, road infrastructure and advanced high-tech means of transport. Transport enables us development, but it also has a bad side. Traffic causes pollution of human environment, a lot of people lose their lives in traffic accidents and even more, they get easily or seriously injured. The state is trying to minimize the consequences of accidents. Particularly vulnerable groups in traffic are children, the elderly, the disabled and those who are unable to take care for themselves. These vulnerable groups should be given special protection. Children are particularly at risk in traffic because of their carelessness, inexperience and playfulness, while older people struggling with other problems. With age, physical and mental abilities start to weaken. Weakening of hearing, vision, short term memory and slowness of movement accompany oldness. There are also the various age diseases: cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, diseases of the internal organs, etc. With the aging process the driving skills get worse and consequently the risk and threat to the elderly in traffic is growing. Old people are particularly at risk as pedestrians and cyclists. Every year, the most injured or dead pedestrians and cyclists are in the age group above 65 years. Many young people are not aware of the problems faced by the elderly, so they are impatient and intolerant to them. On the contrary, the elderly are rarely critical to their health and driving skills. Regulated road infrastructure and traffic signs have big influence on safety of elderly road users. With a healthy lifestyle, exercise and training, it is possible to slow the decline in driving skills in order to extend the quality of mobility among the population of older people.
