Reduction of Traffic Congestion by the Construction of a Skywalk at Adoor
摘要
Today, due to the land limitation, lots of dense urban areas are facing pressures and problems, such as traffic congestion and lack of public open space. One of the most obvious, widespread, and urgent transportation issues that affects not only India but the majority of cities worldwide on a daily basis is traffic congestion. It impacts all socioeconomic categories and all forms of mobility, particularly roadways. The objective of this study is to analyse the traffic condition at Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), Adoor junction and provide proper solution for this. The main problem at this location is the traffic congestion that happened as a result of the bus stop for private buses, zebra crossing for pedestrians. This can be reduced for an extent by providing a special path for pedestrians and also a different location for bus stop and taxi stand. The solution for this is to provide a skywalk for the pedestrians to reduce the traffic block that caused by zebra crossing. A separate location for private buses near the bridge is constructed recently.
