2017

Streamlining of urban traffic influence nowadays almost everything about our modern life. The main effect, which we all feel as the daily traffic participants, either as pedestrians or vehicles drivrers, is travel time to work and back. Roundabouts intersections have a number of advantages over intersections with traffic lights, they reduce the severity of accidents, traffic speeds to provide an “calmer” road environment. So, operating performance of roundabouts are complicated, influenced by the confluence operations. The paper aims at analyzing the current situation of traffic in two crowded roundabouts in Sibiu, comparing the results with the original data and proposing solutions to impr…
