Local Roundabout Saves Lives: A Decade of Success in Zaječar
Zaječar Roundabout: A Decade of Life-Saving Success A roundabout constructed ten years ago in Zaječar, Serbia, by local businessman Saša Mirković, has significantly improved road safety and potentially saved numerous lives, according to Mirković himself. The project, initially met with criticism, has proven its worth, as evidenced by the smoother and safer traffic flow observed in the area. In a recent video, Mirković revisited the roundabout, stating, "We saved many lives! The roundabout has justified what I expected, which is to save human lives!" The video shows a marked decrease in speeding compared to the pre-roundabout era. While exact accident statistics are not provided in the video, Mirković's claim warrants further investigation by local authorities. The project serves as a potential model for other towns facing similar traffic safety challenges.
