Abstract

The speed change lane is installed at the point where the roads are connected on the urban roads, reducing the relative speed to facilitate traffic communication. However, in the case of the speed limit of 30 km/h in accordance with the implementation of the safe speed "5030" in the city, the standard is ambiguous, and there are criticisms about the installation of the transmission lane. This study conducted a pilot study on the traffic patterns of the speed change lanes, focusing on the section where the safe speed "5030" policy was scheduled to be implemented after theoretical consideration of the speed change lanes. After on-site investigation, as a result of analyzing the traffic pattern according to the travel speed of the main road according to road conditions and traffic conditions, the effectiveness of the speed change lane according to the safety speed "5030" was analyzed. In this study, the installation criteria for speed change lane by speed were presented. The criteria is that "speed change lanes should not be installed when the speed limit is 30 km/h, and speed change lanes should be installed when the speed limit is 50 km/h." The criteria will be considered as a reference when establishing engineering standards for connection of other facilities in urban areas in the future. It is expected that unnecessary restrictions on individuals' exercise of private property rights will be minimized, smooth traffic flow and secure safety by the installation of speed change lanes and expansion of turning radius.

도시부도로에서 변속차로는 도로가 연결되는 지점에 설치되어 상대속도를 낮추도록 함으로써 교통소통을 원활하게 하고 있다. 그러나 도심내 안전 속도 "5030"시행에 따른 제한속도 30 km/h의 경우 기준이 모호하여 변속차로 설치에 대한 지적이 나오고 있다. 본 연구는 변속차로에 대한 이론적 고찰 후 안전속도 "5030" 정책 시행 예정 구간을 중심으로 변속차로 통행패턴을 사례조사를 실시하였다. 현장조사 후 도로조건 및 교통 조건 등에 따라 주도로의 통행 속도별 통행 패턴을 분석한 결과 안전속도 "5030"시행에 따른 변속차로의 실효성을 분석하였다. 본 연구수행을 통해 제시된 속도별 변속차로 설치기준은, 통행속도 30 km/h 구간인 경우는 변속차로를 미설치 하도록 하고, 50 km/h인 경우는 반드시 설치토록 하는 기준을 제시하였다. 향후 도시지역에서 다른 시설의 연결에 대한 공학적 기준을 정립할 때 참고할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 변속차로 설치 및 회전반경 확대를 통한 속도별 원활한 교통소통 및 안전성을 확보하고 개인의 사유재산권 행사에 대한 불필요한 제약을 최소화하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
