In Egypt, urban planning projects usually do not consider the intersection type. This study developed charts for practitioners that could be used to determine the optimal intersection. The paper studied intersections including; signalized, roundabout, and two-way stop control. It provides a study for the intersection at the targeted level of service D. The traffic patterns were used to calculate the intersection’s capacity and the average control delay. The combinations of turning distribution, percent of heavy vehicles, and type of control were considered. The relationship among capacity, delay and traffic volume has been used to deduce the minimum required lane configuration for each intersection. The results indicated that the roundabout is the best alternative for intersection control with maximum capacity and minimum delays for medium traffic. However, signalized intersection is the best alternative at heavy traffic volumes and a high proportion of left-turning volume. |
