Re: Pad ontwerp- Hoekom so?
Behalwe dat dit regoor die Stellenbosch Mediese Kampus (Tygerberg Hospitaal)se ingang is en dalk die verkeer na en van die fasiliteit kan laat vloei kan ek aan geen rede dink hoekom dit so ontwerp is nie. Dalk kan iemand van die Kaap meer lig werp op die vraag.

Re: Pad ontwerp- Hoekom so?
I had a careful look at the satellite image and that revealed somewhat of a clue to the design of the road. The roads go down from 3 to 2 and back to 3 lanes. The traffic is being channeled to slow down when going in either direction, thereby alleviating the need to install robots at an intersection that can result in serious fatalities. Rather clever if you ask me and it would seem to be an awful waste of prime land, but considering you would probably need another 3 times the size for the fatalities if the municipality just put up another robot or allowed it connect straight through.

P.S. Maybe we should get forum members to post weird road designs here and hope to get answers why the authorities had done it.

Re: Pad ontwerp - Hoekom so?
Dit wil vir my voorkom of die provinsiale paddienste nie genoeg geld gehad het om barriers op te sit om te keer dat die mense die ou onramp gebruik nie. Toe sit hulle maar No Entry tekens op in die hoop die padgebruikers sal dit gehoorsaam. Heel duidelik het die plan geflop met skreeusnaakse nagevolge en padgebruikers wat shortcut vat.

Re: Pad ontwerp - Hoekom so?
Die blou lyn op my screenshot wys hoe jy veronderstel is om te ry as jy van Parys se kant af op die N1 wil afdraai. Daarom is die twee geen toegang tekens ook so gedraai dat hulle slegs sigbaar is van daardie kant af. Indien jy van Ultra City se kant af op die N1 wil draai moet jy my rooi lyn volg. Sien my screenshot van die anderkant af. Die swart lyn op my screenshot en Frans se blou lyn is die oorspronklike ramp wat verwyder is toe hulle die nuwe ramps gebou het. Die enigste rede wat ek hier aan kan dink is om die kruis van verkeer te verminder om ongelukke te vermy. Ek kan nie onthou van enige groot ongelukke wat daar plaas gevind het nie maar hulle se prevention is better than cure.

Re: Pad ontwerp - Hoekom so?
Nou het ek ook die hele prentjie. Wat ek kan sien in die foto van Frans, wil dit vir my voorkom of daar wel shortcut gevat word as jy kyk na die bandmerke op die teer, wat na regs draai by die No Entry's.

Re: Pad ontwerp - Hoekom so?
Dit is so Darryl . My opinie is dat die verandering heel onnodig was. Dit het dit nie veiliger gemaak nie, maar eerder `n nuwe gevaar geskep.

Re: Pad ontwerp - Hoekom so?
Die Paaie departement was daar heel dom in hulle ewige slimmigheid met die oplossing wat hulle probeer skep het. Maak die ou onramp toe en sodoende moet die nuwe onramp gebruik word wat die gevaar van oortredings vermy.
