Improving Operational Capacity of Approach-Roads of Any Bridge for Future Traffic Management

Abstract (2. Language): 
Junctions are most vulnerable places. Especially at signalized junctions, right turning movement is mainly responsible for congestion and accident. In this highway at each junction, 4 right turns and 2 crossings are prevented by continuous divider and 4 left turns and 2 crossings are allowed. The rest 4 right turns and 2 crossings are done by 2 U-loops at 2 ends. So no signal is needed to be introduced. So the flow is continuous and capacity increased by almost 10 times than signalized junctions. So if the junctions along the length of approaching roads on both sides of any bridge or other essential new construction are avoided by constructing a superhighway, so in future there will be no risk of capacity exhaustion and also it will reduce the accident rate at initial stage. So though the construction is costly, it will be cost effective and one of the best solutions of congestion and accident at approach roads. Main necessities of super highway near approach road are as all signals are avoided so, there will be no delay. Most economic trip will be generated. At initial stage, the traffic volume will be less and speed will be very high. So collision will be higher with severity. Super highway can be able to reduce the accident rate on a large scale
