Design of Rotary
Definitions:
At grade intersection: an intersection is where all roadways join
or cross at
the same level.
Diverging: dividing of a single stream of traffic into separate
streams.
Intersection angle: the angle between two intersection legs.
Merging: the converging of separate streams of traffic into a
single stream.
Rotary Intersection: A road junction laid out for movement of
traffic in one
direction around a central island.
Rotary Island: A traffic island located in the centre of an
intersection to
compel movement in a clock-wise direction and thus substitute
weaving of
traffic around the island instead of direct crossing of vehicle
objectives:
Signalization of rotaries to provide access to pedestrians
and
vehicles.
To evaluate perceived concern of high speed at rotaries .
To balance traffic volume.
To move the vehicles in circulatory motion without
confusion.
Kidney islands are provided to reduce the speed of the
vehicles as the
vehicles come nearer to the junction point.
study:
Traffic volume study is done by counting by following methods:
1.
Mechanical Counters
In mechanical counters method traffic count is recorded by
electrically operated counters.
other methods of working the mechanical detectors are by
photo-electric cells
magnetic detectors
radar detectors
Manual counts:
Manual counts are recorded in a prescribed record sheet:

pavement on horizontal
curve
On horizontal curves it is common practice to widen the
pavement slightly more than the normal width. The object of
providing extra widening are due to the following reasons:
1. off tracking
i) The length of the wheel base of the vehicle.
ii) the turning angle or radius of the curve.
2. Transverse skidding
3. In case of trailers, they turn the vehicles on the outer side at
the
beginning of the curve.
4. when two vehicles cross the horizontal curve there is a
psychological
tendency to maintain greater clearance between the

Channelization
Rotary Islands are channelised intersections which separates
the traffic
stream in different directions.
It provides the spreading of traffic flow as far as possible the
points of
conflict between crossing traffic streams.
The number of decisions made by the driver can be reduced
by allowing
Principles of proper
channelized intersection
The layout of the intersection should be clearly visible, simple and
flows.
The width of the traffic lane of straight section without kerb is 3.5 m.
The width of the traffic lane near the island is 4.5-5 m at entry and 6 m at
exit.
Pedestrian crossing should be provided.z

Intersections:
Once the rotary has locked up the movement of vehicles

and the traffic willhave to be ultimately sorted out by the police.
Arotary requires a comparatively larger area and may not be
feasible in
many built up locations.
Wherepedestrian trafficis large, a rotary by itselfis not sufficient
tocontrol traffic and has to be supplemented by traffic police.
Where theangle of intersection between two road is too acute, it
becomes
difficultto provide adequate weaving length.
The provision of rotaries at close interval makes travel
troublesome.
Traffic turning right has to travel a little extra distance.

conclusion
Traffic rotaries are introduced for safety traffic flow at the
junction point.
Rotaries are designed in circular shape for flow of vehicles in
clock-wise
direction without confusion.
Around the rotary island kidney islands are provided to slow
down the
vehicles near the junction point for avoiding congestion
between the
vehicles.
The width of the road beside the rotary island is more. i.e.,
more than 3.5
m.
The width of the rotary depends upon the capacity of the flow.
