Currently I have to do a site plan in my academic works. I like to do a site plan for a critical junction area of Galle town, Sri Lanka. From the site planning I like to overcome the traffic jam in the junction.
This is my location
https://www.google.lk/maps/place/Minuwangoda+Junction/@6.0405289,80.2149854,20.41z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x3ae173bed5813181:0x9a02e5c62525502a!8m2!3d6.0407064!4d80.215095?hl=en
I want to refer some case studies or projects that others done like this. It will make lot for my project. Please advise me
Thank you,

You can improve the permeability of your roads by a proper site plan. The traffic, peaks, and the available space are important constraints, without considering that I cannot say the site plan is enough to eliminate the traffic jams (you can decrease the negative impacts for sure). I suggest to consider all the possible traffic organization opportunities (some of them do not need capital, like different school starting times) and the site plan.
Dear Robert Istvan Radics,
It is a really interesting idea for me actually. I search about some case studies. If you have something please share with me.
Thank you

I have noted the increasing popularity of roundabouts in Wisconsin and Michigan. While I initially hated them, I have gotten more used to them in recent months. So my comfort level has increased. Perhaps the land requirements are a bit higher than for a standard intersection. Nevertheless, congestion is less.
It can be possible or cannot possible. It is connected with many things, such as, existing land-use, the street patterns, the entire city road network and how it is connected to that locality, if the establishment surrounding the roads can be compromised to reshape or rebuild and so on. If the problem is very localized and only due to existing design of that particular junction, then, you can give the design solution that may minimize the congestions. If it is connected with many other things, then, it is very difficult to solve with a on-the-spot solution. But, I can understand that you cannot not solve all the problems with a single academic work if it is connected with many things. But, you can propose your own localized solution that can be input for a greater solution or comprehensive plan.
