CHAPTER 3.0 JUNCTION DESIGN
CC503 – TRAFFIC ENGINEERING
![Page 2: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
JUNCTION
• A road junction is a
location where
vehicular traffic going in
different directions can
proceed in a controlled
manner designed to
minimize accidents.
• In some cases, vehicles
can change between
different routes or
directions of travel.
![Page 3: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
INTERSECTION
• An intersection is a road junction where two or more roads either meet or cross at grade (they are at the same level).
• Such a road junction may also be called a crossroads.
![Page 4: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
FACTORS THAT AFFECT JUNCTION LOAD.
• At grade intersections present a driver with several points of conflict with other vehicles.
• The aims of intersection design are to improve traffic flow and reduce the like hood of accidents.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT JUNCTION LOAD.
• Factors that affect junction load are:-
i. Geometrical design and traffic control devices
ii. Total or length wide
iii. Distribution design
iv. Turning radius
v. Traffic volume and characteristic

CONFLICT POINT AND CONFLICT AREA AT AN INTERSECTION
• Conflict points are commonly used to explain the accident potential of a roadway.
• Access management strategies are typically designed to reduce the number and density of conflict points.
• A conflict point is the point at which a highway user crossing, merging with, or diverging from a road or driveway conflicts with another highway user using the same road or driveway
![Page 22: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
CONFLICT POINT AND CONFLICT AREA AT AN INTERSECTION
Here, how conflict happen:-
• Vehicles travel from two streams and meets with each other
• Where roads cross at an acute angle or the opposing legs of an intersection are offset, excessive intersection area results
• In general, large areas of uncontrolled pavement invite dangerous vehicle maneuvers and should be eliminated
![Page 23: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION
• The sight distance is the sum of a distance travelled during the total reaction time which is the interval between the instant that the driver recognizes the traffic signals of the intersection ahead and the instant that the driver actually applies the brakes, and a distance to stop the vehicle at the stop line with applying brake.
S = (Vt/3.6) + [ (1/2)*(V/3.6)2 ] Where, t = 10 sec. (rural), t = 6 sec (urban), = 0.2 x g = 0.2 x 9.8 = 1.96 m/sec2
![Page 38: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
STOP CONTROLLED INTERSECTION • In this case, time for decision making as in
signalized intersection is not necessary because every driver must stop.
S = (Vt/3.6) + [ (1/2)*(V/3.6)2 ] Where, V= speed (km/h), t = 2 sec,
= 1.96 m/sec2
![Page 39: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
SIGHT DISTANCE FOR DEPARTURE
• At an intersection where traffic is controlled by STOP signs on the minor road it is necessary for the driver of a stopped vehicle to see enough of the major road to be able to cross before a vehicle on the major road reaches the intersection
d = 0.28V (J + ta) Where, d = minimum sight distance along the major road from the intersection,
meters. V = design speed of major road, km/hr. J = sum of perception time and the time required to shift to first gear or
actuate an automatic shift. (Assume J = 2 sec, Urban or sub-urban = 1 ½ sec to 1 sec))
ta = time required to accelerate and traverse the distance S to clear the major road, seconds.
![Page 40: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
SIGHT DISTANCE FOR DEPARTURE
S = D + W+ L
Where,
S = Distance for vehicle must travel to cross the major road
D = distance from near edge of pavement of front of stopped vehicle
W= width of pavement along path of crossing vehicle.
L = overall length of vehicle
![Page 41: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Example
• A vehicle travel before hit to collision point has 2 sec of reaction time to stop, deceleration of vehicle is 1.96 m/s2 and the speed of vehicle is 100 km/hr. Determine the sight distance for a vehicle before it hit the collision point.
Solution S = (Vt/3.6) + [ (1/2)*(V/3.6)2 ] = (100 x 2)/3.6 + [(1/2 x 1.96) x (100/3.6)2] = 252.4 m

TRAFFIC LIGHT DESIGN AND PHASES
• Traffic lights which may also be known as stoplights, traffic lamps, traffic signals, stop-and-go lights, robots or semaphore, are signaling devices positioned at road intersections, pedestrian crossings and other locations to control competing flows of traffic.
![Page 44: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES TRAFFIC LIGHT
ADVANTAGES
i. Provide orderly movement of traffic
ii. Minimize the number of conflicting movements
iii. Increase capacity
iv. Interrupt heavy traffic to allow other traffic to enter or cross.
v. Coordinated continuous movement of traffic at a desired speed
vi. Promote driver confidence
DISADVANTAGES
i. Increase total intersection delay especially during off peak periods
ii. Probable increase in certain types of accidents
iii. Interrupt the progressive flow of traffic on a route cause delay & stopping
iv. When improperly located causes unnecessary delay
v. When improperly timed, causes excessive delay, increasing driver irritation
![Page 45: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
REQUIREMENT OF TRAFFIC INSTRALLATION
• THREE (3) warrant should be considered before installing traffic signal are:-
Warrant 1: Vehicular Operations
Warrant 2: Pedestrian Safety (S)
Warrant 3: Accident Experience
![Page 46: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
PHASING ELEMENTS
• Definition:
A signal phase is a part of the cycle length allocated to a traffic movement receiving the right of way simultaneously during one or more intervals
• A traffic movement is a single vehicular movement, a single pedestrian movement, or a combination of vehicular and pedestrian movements
• Cycle length = the sum of all traffic phases
![Page 47: Chapter 3 junction design](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012405/554a4570b4c905293a8b53cf/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
