Park of Arches, started with the idea of junction design
and transforming a vacant traffic island. The project is
divided into two phases - Phase 1 included redesigning
the island, while Phase 2 included realigning of the
junction to make it safe and efficient for pedestrian and
vehicular movement.
Existing Scenario Proposed Scenario

Junction Perimeter – 175 m
Junction Area – 2025 sqm

• Large and misaligned junction • Junction Compaction and Alignment Correction
• Safety concerns for pedestrians & motorists • Enhanced Safety and convenience of pedestrians
• Chaotic Movement of vehicles & pedestrians • Slower speed at left turn
• Low visibility • Traffic islands as pedestrian refuges and traffic channelizers
• Inaccessible traffic islands • Increased throughput, efficiency of junction (vehicles and
pedestrians)
• Enhanced aesthetics, lighting and legibility,
• Improved access to Park of Arches & Universal accessibility
