The provided diagrams illustrate the existing road system and the proposed modifications intended to mitigate accident occurrences.
Overall, the proposed changes entail the introduction of a roundabout at a key intersection and the installation of several traffic lights, ultimately aiming to enhance road safety in the area.
Currently, the intersection of City Road, Forest Road, and River Road experiences a significant number of accidents, attributed to its design. In response, the future road system will incorporate a roundabout to streamline traffic flow and reduce the likelihood of collisions. This roundabout will connect the three roads efficiently, thus improving access and visibility. Furthermore, the installation of four traffic lights at critical junctions will regulate traffic and facilitate safer vehicle movements. Notable locations for the traffic signals include the school’s exit onto City Road and the intersection of Lane and River Road, aligning with strategic points where accidents have frequently occurred.
In addition to the roundabout and traffic lights, enhancements to the road layout will include new connecting paths from Lane directly to the roundabout. This adjustment not only provides direct access but also reduces congestion at the intersections. The proposed modifications maintain the existing residences, with a total of nine houses remaining in their current locations along the roads. The widening of the road at the junction of Lane and Forest Road is anticipated to further improve safety by enhancing visibility, thereby allowing for the removal of previous accident advisories in that region. Collectively, these enhancements are expected to facilitate a safer and more efficient road network.
