Restrict/Combine Direct Access Points
construct a service road construct an access lane combining driveways for several properties connect a number of smaller car parks and provide a joint access close minor intersections with local streets which have alternative access to the local neighbourhood road network.
Reduces the number of potential conflict points. Reduces traffic friction and improves flow on the main road. Potential to reduce pedestrian risks. Improved traffic management at upgraded access points.
In most situations, it would be difficult to justify and fund construction of a service road on its own merits due to high cost. This type of project is generally undertaken as part of a major road duplication project. Minor intersection closures can often be achieved in cooperation with the local road authority, especially when safety at these intersections has been a subject of repeated complaint.
