Directionality of traffic flow by jurisdiction Countries by direction of road traffic, c. 2020 Left-hand traffic Right-hand traffic No data Left-hand traffic (LHT) and right-hand traffic (RHT) are the practices, in bidirectional traffic, of keeping to the left side or to the right side of ...
Traffic patterns can be defined as left-hand or right-hand according to which way the turns in the pattern are performed. They are usually left-hand turns because most small airplanes are piloted from the left seat (or the senior pilot or pilot-in-command sits in the left seat), and so the pilot has better visibility out the left window.
A geometric design saved on construction costs and improved visibility with the intention to reduce the likelihood of traffic incidents. The geometric design of roads is the branch of highway engineering concerned with the positioning of the physical elements of the roadway according to standards and constraints. The basic objectives in ...
In transportation infrastructure, a bidirectional traffic system divides travellers into two streams of traffic that flow in opposite directions. [ 1 ] In the design and construction of tunnels, bidirectional traffic can markedly affect ventilation considerations.
Traffic flow management can be short-term (preparing construction traffic control plans, including detour plans for pedestrian and vehicular traffic) or long-term (estimating the impacts of proposed commercial and residential developments on traffic patterns). Increasingly, traffic problems are being addressed by developing systems for ...
One of the Livingston examples was remodeled in the mid-2000s as part of a public transport project. The Girton interchange near Cambridge was a "half"-cloverleaf interchange that regularly experienced peak-time congestion due to A14 westbound traffic weaving with M11 traffic. [14] This interchange was redesigned in 2019 to remove one of the loops.
A continuous flow intersection (CFI), also called a crossover displaced left-turn (XDL or DLT), is an alternative design for an at-grade road junction. Vehicles attempting to turn across the opposing direction of traffic (left in right-hand drive jurisdictions; right in left-hand drive jurisdictions) cross before they enter the intersection. No ...
A4 Interchange for right-hand traffic, or B4 interchange for left-hand traffic. The parclo A4 (also called "six-ramp partial cloverleaf") contains six ramps. [2] On each side on the freeway, there is an (often multi-lane) exit ramp, followed by a loop ramp and directional ramp entering the freeway.
