Mobility Concept for the Szent András Catholic kindergarten in Szentendre and its surroundings

The mobility concept of the future catholic two-group nursery school and four-group kindergarten at the corner of Vasvári Pál Street and Fürj Street in Szentendre aims to integrate the future institution into its mobility environment and examines the future conceptual options for the land use direction of the surrounding Csicserkó hill. The study consists of two parts: the first part presents the traffic management concept, and the second part the regulation concept for the Csicserkó hill.

To establish the two concepts, several (intersection traffic count, cross-sectional traffic number and a parking) surveys were carried out, and an online public questionnaire was used to find out about the current usage patterns of the Csicserkó hill.

In preparation for the interventions to be implemented in the Catholic kindergarten, a thorough assessment of the situation was carried out, including a review and evaluation of the related transport development plans and the formulation of design proposals to ensure consistency with the mobility concept of the kindergarten.

A transport vision for the nursery and its surroundings has also been prepared which assumes related to the road network elements that the problems caused by road traffic due to the new nursery and day care will be addressed in advance. The aim is to integrate the area's road network without major constraints, with effective traffic calming measures, and to ensure that the connecting streets retain their present suburban character.

The traffic engineering concept for area of the Fürj Street - Vasvári Pál Street axis and the connecting streets, provides a speed limit of 30 km/h, physical traffic calming elements, and the creation of the necessary parking spaces and safe pedestrian and cycle traffic conditions (pavements, crossings).

The vision for Csicserkó Hill, which has excellent natural features but is currently poorly accessible and undeveloped, is to accommodate institutions (retirement homes, schools, hospitals, dormitories, etc.) with low transport needs, preferably for human infrastructure.
