Intersection redesign
/#1 Tactical redesign of high fatality intersection
The Zero Fatality Corridor (ZFC) is a road traffic safety model pioneered by the Save Life
Foundation to reduce the number of road crashes and consequent injuries, damages, and
fatalities. The Kharadi Bypass is located on Pune-Ahmednagar Highway/State Highway 27 and intersects the Beed-Pune Ahmednagar diversion on State Highway 2. The safety hazard posed by this intersection is quite customary in the traffic engineering sense: optimize the traffic flow by regulating vehicles while creating safe passageways of crossings for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders. The junction observes high vehicular traffic throughout the day and provides a pivotal connection from Pune City Center to the Pune airport. It is an unsafe and hasslesome experience for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the intersection, especially during the peak hours. The project study was carried out in five phases:
1. Baselining the intersection will consist of documenting the site pre-intervention.
2. Quantifying the Traffic Characteristics of existing traffic patterns and identify problems about safety and flow for all modes.
3. Understanding user perceptions and behaviour.
4. Outlining Tactical Urbanism Intervention into an implementable plan to achieve
the vision set out in the previous phases.
5. Assessing Impact will conduct traffic studies post-design intervention, measuring the impact through comparing the indicators that were documented in the first phase
