Options to Mitigate Congestion on Roads

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article deals with the problem of emergence of congestions caused by wrong intersection design, especially roundabouts. There is analyzed the problem of bad design of roundabout according to the known standards. The real design is compared with theoretical demands and with the real operation resulting from in situ survey. There is described the behavior of the drivers and parameters affecting driving path through roundabout.
