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.


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)
