In the Croatian capital Zagreb, due to the spatial expansion and the increasing number of inhabitants and cars, there is a constant need for the reconstruction of existing or the construction of new road infrastructure in accordance with the mandatory regulations and requirements. The lack of uniform national guidelines for the design of urban streets and intersections often leads to different and inconsistent solutions. Increasingly problematic in the street network are poorly designed intersections in urban areas. Great attention should be paid to the geometric design of intersections, as large cities have a complex traffic system due to the high volume of traffic and different road users. In this paper, the existing intersection of Grad Vukovar and Grad Gospić streets in the city of Zagreb with a light rail corridor in both streets was analysed, and two preliminary design variants for the reconstruction of the intersection were proposed to show the design problems and their solution.
