Design of road and roundabout in Kolt

Education
 
Description:         
Aarhus municipality is planning a future connection between Kolt Østervej and Genvejen in the south of Aarhus. The main purposes of this new road will be to act as distributer in a new residential in north-eastern Kolt, as well as channel traffic fast and easy to the main highway. The road will join Kolt Østervej in a planned roundabout and continue northeast servicing local inhabitants and end at Genvejen one kilometre away.
                           
To maximize capacity it is to be analyzed if a roundabout is the best solution given the circumstances. In theory roundabouts are effective in distributing even amounts of traffic from the connecting roads, but leaving no options for future changes. Thorough comparisons of the different connections will have to be carried out in order to make the correct decision.
 
Pathways in Kolt are high priority and by deciding to place a roundabout, changes will be inevitable. Connecting paths from the new residential to the existing paths, requires safe solutions as the users often are children.
 
The project material will contain a roundabout planned in detail as a result of the above mentioned aspects as well as a design of the connecting road.
