Goals and Objectives

  • 1. A safe and a complete street for every user and mode

a) Estimated reduction of crashes upto 23-30% b)Reducing speed limits at certain areas from 30MPH to 20MPH leading to a 15% reduction in crashes

  • 2. To promote better livability

a)Increasing system efficiency to about 70%

  • 3. Finally, to achieve sustainability by providing a happier environment in every

possible aspect

Bus Stops

Increase Passenger Safety and Comfort

  • 1. Stable surface area
  • 2. Shelter, but the shelter should also

clearly distinguish a bus stop from the rest of the landscape.

  • Guide route and time information

and energy efficient LEDs

  • An alert system

Project Bottle Stops

  • Soft Drink bottles are equipped with Solar powered LED lights to form

walls

  • During the day time, energy gets stored from the Sunlight
  • Uses stored energy to illuminate the structure at night

Location For Roundabout

slide-36
SLIDE 36

According to Geometry Design of FHWA:

Type: Single-lane round about

Inscribed Circle Diameter: D = 30 metres

Design speed: S = 21 kmph

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Improve safety

 Low travel speeds  No light to beat  One way travel

slide-38
SLIDE 38

Roundabout Benefits

  • Improves safety
  • Reduces delay, improves traffic flow
  • Less expensive
  • Less space
slide-39
SLIDE 39

Tidal Lanes-Future Work

  • A tidal lane is a lane in which

traffic may flow in either direction, depending on certain conditions.

  • Typically, it is meant to

improve traffic flow during rush hours

  • Ideal for the Marti Cemetery

cross section and cross sections having a lesser road width
