VII. CONCLUSION

The present study concludes that the proposal suggested at Basaveshwar circle can be adopted for the smooth and easy flow of traffic without causing delays. The proposal is made with the design corrections in highway geometry like widening the roads at intersection, providing adequate drainage facilities, signal optimization, pedestrian crossings, increasing in turning radius for safe convenient rapid and economic travel of road users. The width of the intersection is increased from 18 m to 22 m with appropriate design aspects. The signal time is optimized to 90and 69seconds for each lane according to the proposed design geometry. The proposed signal time is increased from 60 seconds to 90seconds and 69seconds for Basaveshwar circle respectively. Hence, it can be concluded that this increase in signal time will reduce the traffic delays and also it reduce the road accidents. It can also be concluded that due to the adequate provision of pedestrian crossing the rate of pedestrian accidents may be minimized.
