Urban transport plays a massive role in the proper functioning of cities [1, 2]. Prioritisation of public transport [3] is an attempt to fight growing traffic congestion, which has a noticeable impact on people’s comfort of living, especially in large cities [4-6]. Shaping the road environment to improve the quality of functioning of public transport means that the management of urban infrastructure cannot cause difficulties. The continuous execution of construction works in Wroclaw has forced the ordering party to introduce temporary, and often complicated, traffic organisation solutions. The primary goal is to ensure the most efficiency for public transport users while maintaining the smoothness of private transport. This article presents solutions to temporary tram traffic organisation used in Wroclaw. The frequency and effects of the applied solutions were analysed using examples of completed and planned tram investments in Wroclaw. The reasons for the applied solutions and possible directions for further analyses were considered.
