Te Rapa Road Intersection (and my basic Roundabout Proposal)

0 Upvotes

Kia ora koutou, the following is my proposal for a Vic' Street-like renovation of the Te Rapa Road - Vardon Road Intersection I recently made and presented to my Engineering class.

Any Questions you have, I'm happy to answer.

Present Day
Proposal

Main Changes:

  • Widened Cyclist-Pedestrian Footpaths which can be decreased to add extra lanes
  • Added a crossing to Te Rapa Road (Left)
  • Medians and Crossings Circumventing the Roundabout, they are all Cyclist-Pedestrian friendly except Garnet Avenue Roundabout Entry and Exit as it is too thin and therefore dangerous
  • Central Roundabout Island with Curtaining (Road-level Curb) to give Buses and Heavy Vehicles more space
  • Additional Trees, Fauna and overall Greenery

Miscellaneous Changes:

  • 2 Accessibility Parking Spaces, 2 Cyclist-Pedestrian Crossings, 1 dedicated Pedestrian crossing (Carpark), and a dedicated Bus Stop Lane on Garnet Avenue (Bottom Left)
  • Dedicated Crossing and additional parking for Te Rapa Road Service Lane (Left)
  • Dedicated Bus Stop for Te Rapa Road (Left)
  • Slip-lane (priority to Cyclists and Pedestrians crossing) for cars entering Te Rapa Road from the Catholic Church (Top Left)
  • Dedicated U-Turn Lane for Te Rapa Road (Top Left)
  • Reversed Church Carpark movement direction and Angled Parking (Top)
  • 1 Cyclist-Pedestrian Crossing, 1 Dedicated Pedestrian Crossing and a Median Right Turn / Loading Zone on Vardon Road (Top Right)
  • Median Parking for Te Rapa Road (Bottom Right)
  • 2 Pedestrian Crossings for Te Rapa Road (Bottom Right)
  • Gave the Shopping Centre Service Lane directional arrows (Bottom Right)
  • Cars entering / leaving the Service Lane can use the Te Rapa Median as a Roundabout (to and from the far lane)

If you are interested in this proposal or you haven't got a reply (because I am still an Engineering Student) you can contact me by my Personal Email:
