roads just 2 lanes
impressive video..probably 70's..as can be seen all it needs is 2 lane roads without junctions for smooth traffic..they have done everything with flyovers and tunnels..however having that for at grade roads should not be difficult with the design of proper exit and entry points and managing pedestrian traffic..
As said before, traffic around ulsoor lake, though 1 lane only, moves quite smooth with allour excited first time road users too!
2 lanes
Design philosophy....
Really great and thought provoking video that!
I think in general, here are some of the aspects that should constitute and influence road design philosophy. BTW, its not an original, meaning, I don't claim to have created it and some might have been borrowed. Please feel free to add.
1. Less number of lanes with no junctions is better than more lanes with junctions
2. Traffic flows like air. If there are obstructions, the flow is disturbed (rules of aerodynamics apply to traffic flow)
3. Narrowest part of a stretch determines the through-put of traffic on that stretch (rules from packet network)
4. The overall speed of the vehicles is a function of the slowest vehicle in the system
I'll add more as and when it strikes me...
japanese cars..
traditinally cars in india have had a japanese influence..their Keijidosha class of cars share the same wheel base as our zen/wagonr..hence learning from how japanese do it would have been easier..
However we have now graduated into fullbodied cars..where our local hatchback, indica, is much more wider.. So I am afraid we cannot look at that angle!
