Problem solved: This will go a long way in solving traffic congestion on roads. Design of a road intersection that requires no traffic lights. 🚦🚦🚦🚦
Lovely design, bro! While this layout does a great job of reducing conflict points without the need for a roundabout, there are still some concerns about the 8 merging conflict points. To further enhance safety and efficiency, you might consider incorporating a channelized central island. This can help control the angles at which vehicles merge, diverge, and cross, while also providing dedicated storage for turning vehicles. Some may argue that channelized islands could potentially confuse motorists. In such cases, signalized traffic management could be a solution. Alternatively, a diverging diamond interchange (DDI) could be explored, though this may seems more complex, but has been proven to enhance safety by eliminating left-turn conflicts and reducing the number of overall conflict points.

Actually not a bad idea at, Good concept and design. My take though: 1. The diversion marked in red should be removed. 2. The u-turn marked with blue shoukd be brought further away from that intersection so it doesn't obstruct traffic on the major road. 3.the u-turns marked with green, is a very good idea it doesn't affect anything 4. Yellow point 1, there shoukd be a traffic light to control though going to divert to the right. 5.. Yellow point 2, there shoukd be a traffic light there to control those going that lane shoukd be double lane at least. So one lane dedicated for the right turner's and thr other lane for the straight readers. 6. The distance between green mark u-turn and the right turner's shoukd eb significantly far enough 7. A bridge can also be introduced like the magenta line. To take of the those right turners. A very careful study of the traffic though to detemring which side is worth the bridge.
Nice concept. But you need traffic lights to control human behaviour and not actual traffic. In realistic scenarios where ppl are impatient and in a hurry. This model would still be as effective as regular traffic designs. So, yeah, we need traffic lights to organise traffic because of certain human behaviours....
This is a bad idea, Two cars will slow down or have to stop at these cross-sections. If it's a highway, then 100% traffic through the day. So it's a bad idea.
Great work Oluwaseun Quadri, but the traffic safety design is compromised due to too many bottlenecks.
The areas marked with the yellow circle are areas with a high probability of accidents due to the weaving that the traffic has to do. We have this problem in Madrid, in the so-called "nudo norte" (Northern Node) and so far this year there have been 218 accidents, up to the beginning of August. And there are only 2 such crossings; with the 8 crosses in this graph, the accidents are probably much more.
This was a standard in Egyptian roads for decades ... It was not effective at all for heavy traffic roads and street intersections In reality it produced long queues at every right turn and every u-turn rendering the roads a torture to use
An impressive design. However, the road weaving must be properly designed to avoid accidents as a result of lane crossing.

4moYeah.. Victor E. Ayegba MBA,MRICS, PQS, FQSi, Vice President QSi , I just noticed. You have a keen attention paying to details. Nice one. 👍
