It is therefore important that the urban environment is safe and convenient for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, this is not always the case. In some places, vehicles occupy pavements or pedestrian areas, making it difficult to move around and creating dangerous situations. Together with Riga residents, we would like to identify such locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We invite you to mark on the map the places where you believe urban infrastructure elements should be installed, such as bollards, traffic-restricting posts, or bicycle racks. This will help improve pedestrian safety, reduce unauthorised vehicle access and parking, and make the urban environment more convenient for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We therefore invite you to participate and indicate locations where the following should be installed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>bollards;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>traffic-restricting posts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bicycle racks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riga residents encounter traffic-restricting posts frequently in their daily lives. They are widely used to manage traffic, separate different areas, and improve pedestrian safety. However, we would like to provide some additional information about bollards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are bollards?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bollards are durable metal posts that prevent vehicles from entering pedestrian areas or driving onto pavements. They help keep pedestrian routes clear and safe while protecting pavements, squares, and other urban infrastructure from damage. Currently, most bollards are installed in Riga\u2019s historic centre, but there are also other areas of the city where they could be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We look forward to receiving your suggestion!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to the survey and mark the street section or location on the map where you believe one of these urban infrastructure elements should be installed. Your input will help identify the locations where installing bollards or traffic-restricting posts, or creating safety zones, would most effectively improve road safety and the quality of the urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-id=\"5385\" src=\"https:\/\/georiga.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Bolardi-photo-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/georiga.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Bolardi-photo-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/georiga.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Bolardi-photo-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/georiga.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Bolardi-photo-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/georiga.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Bolardi-photo-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/georiga.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Bolardi-photo.jpg 1769w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"534\" data-id=\"5383\" src=\"https:\/\/georiga.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/foto_velonovietnes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/georiga.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/foto_velonovietnes.jpg 799w, https:\/\/georiga.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/foto_velonovietnes-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/georiga.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/foto_velonovietnes-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5381,"template":"","kategorijas":[25],"class_list":["post-5388","iesaisties","type-iesaisties","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategorijas-iesaiste-aktivs-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/georiga.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/iesaisties\/5388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/georiga.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/iesaisties"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/georiga.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/iesaisties"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/georiga.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/georiga.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategorijas","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/georiga.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategorijas?post=5388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
