URBAN ROADS
Scope of Urban Roads • Urban/Suburban Road Segments continuous permanent development along all or almost of its length, on at least one side of the road. Population at least 100. 000 • Interurban Road Segments without continuous development on either side, such as restaurants, factories, or villages.
Scope of Urban Roads • Urban Road Types – Two-lane two-way roads (2/2 UD) – Four-lane two-way roads • Undivided (i. e. no median) (4/2 UD) • Divided (i. e. with median) (4/2 D) – Six-lane two-way divide roads (6/2 D) – One-way roads (1 -3/1)
Scope of Urban Roads • Conditions: • Flat or essentially flat alignment • Straight or essentially straight horizontal alignment • On segments of roads which are not affected by queuing caused by intersections, nor by severe platooning downstream form signalised intersections
Scope of Urban Roads • Road Segments: • Between and unaffected by signalised or major unsignalised intersections, and • Having similar characteristics along its length.
Objective of Urban Roads • Design of urban roads should be selected with the aim to ensure that degree of saturation does not exceed an acceptable value (normally 0, 75)
Traffic Safety Considerations • Widening of the lane decreases the accident rates between 2 -15% per meter widening (the high number refers to narrow roads). • Widening and improvement of shoulder surface conditions improves traffic safety, although to a smaller degree than lane widening
Traffic Safety Considerations • A median reduces the accident rate with 30% • Median barriers (used when the space is insufficient to make a full median) reduce fatal and severe injury accidents with 1030%, but increase damage only accidents.
