crossroads - Opis:
- The article presents solutions of crossroads which make it possible to eradicate dangerous places at selected crossroads in Rzeszów. The solution consists in redeveloping traffic lights signalizations and installations of self-exited system with automatic traffic measurements. The idea of safety increase comes down to the implementation of accommodated traffic lights for all road traffic users. This installation is adapted to the road traffic changes by altering the time of green signals for vehicular traffic and omitting the green lights for pedestrians if not necessary. The traffic control is realized on the basis of current registration of traffic intensity with a video detecting system (for vehicular traffic) and push-button (for pedestrian traffic). At the crossroads there are separate roadways to turn left. The traffic control system is divided into four elementary traffic phases, the sequence of which is dependent on the analyzed traffic situation. The safety increase was also accomplished by improvements of friction grip. It was a result of a special layer of SMA asphalt (4 centimeter thickness) application. Additionally, there were safety barriers built, which preclude car parking in the neighborhood of crossroads. These solutions increased visibility at crossroads. The goal of the rebuilding was to decrease the number of road accidents in vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The bettering of the traffic flow and the improvement of safety at Rzeszów crossroads were achieved by the crossroads rebuilding and traffic control system application at the following crossroads: Lubelska - Mączka - Wyzwolenia streets and Targowa -Pilsudskiego - Głowackiego Streets. The investment project assumed over 50% decrease of the quantity of road accidents.
