Perception of Large Danger Lists and Orange Boards for Marking Transport Units

Abstract

Transport of goods in a city is a basic prerequisite for meeting the needs of the population. The transport of dangerous goods, especially in urban areas, represents a risk that can result in a dangerous situation as well as unwanted consequences. According to the data, the percentage of dangerous goods transported in the European Union is 4% of the total amount of transported goods. The perception of road users is one of the basic factors for the safe and smooth flow of traffic. Bearing the above in mind, this paper conducted an analysis aimed at determining the differences in the perception of large danger lists and orange boards for marking transport units. 288 respondents participated in the research. The results show that there are statistically significant differences between the perception of large danger lists and orange boards for marking transport units, viewed according to gender, age, place of residence, education, occupation of the respondents and according to the driver's license category.
