Lately, an increasing number of countries are turning to alternative modes of transport, such as public transport and cycling, due to the increase in the use of motor vehicles and their contribution to serious environmental, economic and health problems. Developed countries of the world, and especially those that have geographical and climatic benefits for the development of cycling, have long recognized the benefits that can be achieved by using a bicycle as a means of transport, and in particular by motivating those who use motor vehicles to a wider use of bicycles.Safety is the basic precondition for the expansion of cycling traffic and its promotion as a daily mode of transport.Experience in many European cities has shown that by improving the conditions for cycling, the number of cyclists and bicycle trips is significantly increasing.Cyclists in Belgrade are faced with a number of difficulties. First of all, there is no adequate infrastructure that would respond to the needs of cyclists and make cycling a safe and attractive activity.The subject of the research is an analysis of the characteristics of cycling traffic on the territory of Vracar municipality with special emphasis on the planning and design of bicycle routes.The analysis of the current condition of the traffic infrastructure in the territory of Vracar municipality, analysis of the safety of cyclists in traffic, identification of problems and objectives, analysis of the possibilities of development of cycling infrastructure was presented in the paper and measures for improving the safety of this vulnerable category of participants in traffic.
