Week 12 - 20 May 2013 - Maroubra traffic resolving


20 May 2013 - Maroubra traffic resolving
 
This journal is about a traffic changing project on Anzac Parade, Maroubra. The location is at the crossroad of Anzac Parade and Avoca St, near Snape St and Moverly Rd. The reason of choosing this project is that it has improved local traffic condition. Before, when vehicles turning from Anzac Parade to Avoca St at this location, there is only one right lane for waiting; hence, a lot of cars have to be stuck on this right lane for a long queue, especially in peak time of morning and afternoon in weekdays. However, this situation was changed by improving the laneways of this location. Green land in the middle of Anzac Parade of this location was redesigned and part of green land was involved into vehicle lanes, which there are two right lanes from Anzac Parade to Avoca St. Although green space was reduced, traffic problem in local area would be resolved by utilizing that green space, which car accident and traffic jam in peak time would be reduced as well.
