Reworking a couple of intersections in Christchurch
Hi there, I'm thinking about reworking a couple of intersections here in Christchurch, and wanted to get some feedback on the best way to proceed before attacking anything.
The offending two intersections are here:
https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=4&l ... TTTTTTTTFT
Specifically the intersections of QEII Drive & Innes Rd, and QEII Drive & Marshland Rd.
My reasons for wanting to change these are:
1. The QEII/Marshland intersection used to be a roundabout, but has (as of last week) become a 'proper' straight-through intersection with traffic lights.
2. The QEII/Innes Rd roundabout never gives me correct driving instructions when I approach from Innes Rd - it always says "In X hundred meters, at the roundabout...", then nothing, no "take the 2nd exit", or "turn right", just silence. I suspect that the layout there is a bit too confusing for it to work out correctly.
My thoughts are:
1. Recombine the two separate East/West lanes into a single two-way road, (as it is on the outer edges of the map), and have single roads entering/exiting the Innes Rd roundabout.
2. Repurpose the current top-most lane as a short one-way 'bypass', but rejoining the main road just after the roundabout.
3. Possibly get rid of the West-heading 'exit' lane joining QEII and Innes Rd ?
4. Restructure the QEII/Marshland intersection as four single roads joining in the standard '+' layout.
Does this sound reasonable, or are there things here I'm overlooking or unaware of ?
Feedback would be most welcome.
TIA,
David
