Rotary design elements

1. Design speed:

The vehicle approaching at intersection at grade have to considerably show down their speed
when compared to the design speed of the highway.

Current Indian practice is to design rotaries for the following speeds:

In rural areas - 40 km/h

In urban areas - 30 km/h

2. Shape of central island:

The shape of the central island depends on the number and layout of the intersecting roads.

The various shape considered to suit different conditions are circular, elliptical, turbine and tangent
shapes.

3. Radius at entry:

The radius at entry is determined by the design speed, super lavation and coefficient of friction.

Allowable radius of the curve,

where, v = design speed at rotary, km.ph

f = friction coefficient ( 0.43 to 0.47 )

4. Radius at exit :

The exit radius should be higher than the radius of the rotary island so that it favors a higher speed
by drivers.

The general practice is to keep the radius of exit curves 1.5 to 2 times the radius of the entry curves.

5. Radius of central island :

The radius of central island may be kept slightly larger than the radius of entry curve. The
recommended mini radii of central island are 1.33 times the radius of entry curve.
6. Weaving length :

The minimum weaving length as per

IRC-65 are :

Design speed Minimum weaving length (m)

(km.ph)

40 45

30 30

7. Width of carriage way at entry and exit :

The width of carriage way at entry and exit of a rotary is governed by the amount of traffic entering
the rotary or leaving the rotary.

As per Indian practice :

Carriage way width of Radius at entry Width of carriage way at

approach road entry & exit

7m (2 lanes) 25 – 35 m 6.5 m

10.5m (3 lanes) 25 – 35 m 7.0 m

14m (4 lanes) 25 – 35 m 8.0 m

8. Width of rotary carriageway :

The width of weaving section (w) should be one traffic lane (3.5m) wider than the mean entry.

9. Entry & exit :

Entry angle should be larger than exit angle. It is desirable that the entry angles should be about 60’
and exit angle 30’

10. Capacity :

• The capacity of rotary is determined by the capacity of each weaving section. Transportation
road research lab proposed the following empirical formula to find the capacity of the
weaving section

Where, Qp= practical capacity of weaving section (PCU/hr)

w=width of weaving section

e= average entry width (m)
