SOLUTION FOR REDUCTION OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION: A CASE STUDY OF THALTEJ ROTARY INTERSECTION

In urban areas, traffic congestion is a major problem. Heavy traffic flow on National highways with high speed, when mixed up with local traffic at crossings, traffic congestion is likely to occur. This causes many negative effects like pollution, delay, accidents and improper traffic management at crossings. At the intersection of National highway-147 and Ahmedabad-Thaltej road, the above problems frequently occur. To reduce the ill effects, some solution is needed to be provided. For this, classified volume count survey and analysis is carried out and the capacity of existing roundabout is checked. Various alternatives like redesigned roundabout, traffic signal, flyover, underpass, cloverleaf and uplifted roundabout are proposed and checked for their suitability.
