Tip of the week
Query:
What do you think of the junction in the picture ?
Answer:
Beware that the vehicles with the red spot on them, are due to change lane shortly after departure, as they are on a lane not leading to the connector they are meant to take. For instance, the blue car is due to turn left and will have to do it in a very short space, which is unrealistic as it should have done so much earlier. This will cause delays and queues. As a result, the discharge rate (therefore capacity) of the right arm will be lower than it should be. I suggest to revise the ‘lane change’ and emergency stop’ parameters for the connectors of the junction and increase those as appropriate.
