Traffic analyzes (microsimulations) for key streets and intersections in the city of Luleå.
The main aim of the study was to compare different options for the reconstruction of the intersection of Skeppsbrogatan and Rådstugatan, taking into account future forecast traffic volumes.
As part of the design activities, the change of the intersection was also analyzed due to the expected increase in traffic intensity caused by the development of the city and the expansion of housing estates.
The aim of the project is to improve road traffic safety at the intersection, which in its current condition generates too many collisions and does not meet applicable standards.
In addition, the project aims to give priority to public transport vehicles. The feasibility of introducing a bus lane was analyzed.
