【 摘 要 】

In order to identify the possibilities for solving the traffic problems in the central area of Pitesti municipality - from improving traffic-light intersections to the proposal to redirect some of the traffic flows outside the area under analysis - a Vissim application, consisting of a microsimulation of road traffic in the central area, was performed. Based on the research conducted, a perspective of great interest proved to be the identification of the possibilities by means of which, to an extent as large as possible, the road traffic coming from Calea Depozitelor or the bridge over Arges and going to the Maior Sontu traffic-light intersection should follow the route between the railway and the Arges River, so as to reduce the impact load on the Podul Viilor roundabout intersection and circumvent the central residential area of the municipality of Pitesti. But, in the long run, the only viable solution that will completely eliminate the traffic congestion phenomenon at Maior Sontu intersection is to create the conditions for redirecting some of the traffic flows, and this can be done by arranging a road passage over the railway in the Prundu neighbourhood. Thus, a significant part of the road traffic - the one going to the Prundu, Craiovei and Rzboieni neighbourhoods, as well as to the periurban area in the east and south of the city, will follow this route, thus alleviating the traffic in the central area of the municipality of Pitesti.
