Notable features of the

audited scheme

(e.g. type of & function of the

audited road, prevalent RTI
problems)

As part on the N3 capacity upgrade strategy, Royal HaskoningDH V has completed the
Preliminary Design of the u grade of the combined Epworth/ Market Road Interchange
after a
detail d traffic analysis confirmed that the existing two interchanges an d the N3
carriageways
are under capacity and will not cater for the future traffic demands from both the
National traffic
and traffic generated from the Msunduzi Municipalities future town planning.

The new scheme is unique in that it combines two interchanges which operate as one
and
combines them in a new layout as a free flow grade separated rotary interchange
Problem Solving

Executive Summary
of Audit Findings

(summarize the major

traffic injry risks identified
on the audited scheme)

As set out in the Audit Brief, the geometric alignment for the interchange upgrade
has been
assessed in terms of Roads Safety and Geometric Design Guidelines as follows:

e The geometric design criteria for the N3 north and southbound carriageways
applied for 100km/hr design speed is consindered to be in accordance with the
G2 manual. Curve widening has been proposed on the inside of the horizontal
curves on the approach to bridge parapets / piers for improved stopping sight
distance and is also in accordance with the G2 manual.

e The proposed interchange ramps horizontal and vertical alignments achieve

design standards of between 60 - 90km/hr. It should be noted that there are crest
vertical curves which are at the limit of the 60km/hr design speed and as these
are located at ramp diverges/merges, careful consideration should be given to
these locations during the Detail Design stage in order to provide clear and un-
obstructed sight lines to the motorist.

Whilst the preliminary design has been carried out in accordance with the SANRAL G2
manual and apart from the findings listed under Section 4 of this report, the
interchange
geometric layout is considered acceptable from a design speed point of view.

However, the Risk Assessment results show that remedial action is required in order
to
minimize the risks as identified:

1. Pedesirian Walkways : High risk with probable frequency and serious severity of
Vehicular /pedestrian collisions.

2. South-Eastern Rotary Weaving: High risk with frequent frequency and minor
severity of side-on vehicular collisions.

3. From South, East and North to City Link Merge: High risk with frequent frequency
and minor severity of side-on vehicular collisions.

4. From City to North, East and South Link Merge: High risk with frequent frequency
and minor severity of side-on vehicular collisions.

5. Cleland Road / Cleland Road Extension Intersection: High risk with probable
frequency nd serious severity of head-on vehicular collisions.

lt is recommende d that a Stage 3 Road Safety Audit be carrie d out on the Detail
Design
of this interchange layout. The complexity of the layout should not be
underestimated and
carefull attention will have to be given to the road marking and signage of the
interchange
in order to relay advance and accurate information to the road users.
