Priority Interventions
Redesign the junction to account for intra- and inter-neighbourhood traffic while prioritising pedestrian safety.
Use the vacant site to potentially widen the carriageway, separate traffic movements, slow vehicle speeds, and provide pedestrian refuge and social space.
Introduce pedestrian crossings, continuous footpaths, and traffic calming measures to address speeding and visibility challenges.
Site context
The site includes a junction and an adjacent vacant parcel at the intersection of 7th Cross Road and Dr. Vishnuvardhan Road is a major arterial carrying heavy through-traffic and connecting the neighbourhood to NICE Road.
Issues
A steep gradient and sharp curve on Dr. Vishnuvardhan Road create a blind approach, encouraging vehicles to accelerate into the junction.
Vehicles waiting to turn right into 7th Cross at the unsignalised junction cause congestion and unsafe pedestrian conditions.
A service road (21st Cross) also meets at this junction.
The vacant site marks a transition between high-speed traffic and the residential neighbourhood.
