Junctions are an important part of a road network because, to a large extent, the safety, speed, operating costs and traffic capacity of the road network depend on the quality of its junctions.
The design of roundabouts, as part of a strategy to strengthen road safety at level junctions, is gaining more and more ground internationally.
The objective of roundabouts is the comfortable, fast and above all safe traffic of vehicles moving in the area of the junction, whether urban or interurban.
Main actions include:
- Introduction & review of driver scope and limitations
- Roundabout design
- Geometric design
- Traffic control devices
- Roundabout lighting
- Embellishment
