Intersection Safety Study : meeting Victoria's intersection challenge. Task 5: Generation of intersection designs within the safe system context.

Task 5 of the Intersection Project explores the various intersection design options available were the Safe System principles the only drivers of intersection design: that is, for this task having safety as the exclusive focus, disregarding convention, practicality, traffic movement, cost – aspects that have traditionally played a significant role in road design. In essence, looking “outside the square”, brainstorming design ideas clear of any real or imposed restrictions. To be true to the Task 5 aim of considering all new design possibilities unrestricted, designs ranged from the obvious (physical barriers to prevent crashes), to the creative (cut through roundabouts) to the more ambitious (grade-separated roundabouts) and non-conventional (reverse roundabouts).
