Entrance control eliminates a conflict of vehicles at the exit of the two-lane roundabout
Traffic flows are merged, overlapped and separated in a roundabout and thus creates a conflict spots and conflict zones. Number of conflict spots and the size of the conflict area of roundabout depends on the roundabout type and the number of incoming and outgoing traffic flows. Distribution of acci...
