Faults in intersection

(According to the security center of the University about 8-10 accidents have been occurred in the last 10 years)

Which is a high rate of accidents on a university road

Side walk:
At this time

sidewalk is 5-9 wide, we have extend it to 8 in our design.

As we have

8000 pedestrian for which we have to design it.

Introduction

of speed breaker (hump)

Suggested

dimensions of hump are Shown in figure

It is one of the

most effective speed control agent.

Advantages of our solutions

If modifications in existing design
Economical solution Control on major problem which is over speeding

Control on accidents
Reduction in conflict

DTEM UET, Lahore

12/26/2012

Advantages of our solutions

If roundabout Reduce possible conflict points Smooth and efficient flow of traffic Reduce speed and ultimately accidents Easier decision making require fewer traffic lanes to accommodate the same amount of traffic require less right-of-way safer for pedestrians than intersections

Advantages of our solutions

It has smaller diameter of central island used in low-speed urban environments.

accommodate pedestrians well

Conclusion
If

we consider the economic factor, then modifications in the existing design is the best option

If we dont consider the financial factor, then

roundabout is the best alternative
