A Proposal of Foot Over Bridge at Congested Intersection

Abstract

The motto of this study is to suggest the best possible NMT infrastructure at the intersection having mixed traffic flow along with the heavy traffic leading towards the congestion, delay and accidents. Variety Square, Nagpur has been selected for study purpose, this square is having major landmarks contributing towards continuous increase in the traffic flow and the current infrastructure is up-to-date to meet the today's demand. It has been seen or observed that the non availability of proper NMT infrastructure leading towards the decrease in the contribution of NMT users, Which is indirectly forcing the user to use motorized transportation over NMT? This behaviour is adversely affecting the environment resulting into the increasing carbon footprint, sudden change in environment, pollution, increase in green house gases etc. It is high time now to consider the junction improvement plan as the short term improvement. So, traffic volume study is carried out at the variety square by manual count method. So, the main objective of this study is to propose the foot over bridge at variety square, Nagpur to eliminate the traffic congestion delay conflict between pedestrian and the moving vehicle and to decrease the accident rate, which will eventually increase the contribution of the NMT users by providing promising safety.
