초록

교통문화 선진화 사업의 일환으로 2010년 회전교차로건설을 시작한 이후 현재까지 약 350개 이상의 회전교차로 건설되어 운영되고 있다. 최근에는 회전교차로 설치에 따른 효과가 검증됨에 따라 도시부 도로 뿐만 아니라 일반국도 등의 지역 간선도로로 확대되어 설치되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 회전교차로 설치를 추진되고 있는 교차로 조건이 점점 다양해짐에 따라 다양한 조건들을 검토를 하기 위해 수행되었는데, 특히 어린이보호구역 등에 설치된 신호횡단보도의 영향을 분석하고, 회전교차로와 인접한 신호횡단보도 설치를 위한 최고 거리기준을 제시하고자 한다. 안전한 도로환경을 위한 어린이 보호구역 같은 지역에서 회전교차로를 설치할 경우, 인접 신호횡단보도의 설치를 통해 보행자의 안전성을 확보하면서 회전교차로의 운영효율을 확보할 수 있는 적정 이격거리를 산정해야 한다. 교통시뮬레이션 프로그램인 VISSIM을 이용하여 어린이보호구역 내 회전교차로 설치 시 인접한 신호횡단보도의 이격거리에 따른 평균지체를 산출하였다. 이를 통해, 회전교차로 인접 신호횡단보도 설치 시 교통량, 방향별 교통량비율, 보행녹색시간 별 회전교차로의 운영 효과를 유지할 수 있는 최소 이격거리 기준을 제시하였다. 각 조건별로 일정 이격거리 이후부터는 어린이보호구역 같은 지역에서 신호횡단보도를 설치하여도 기존에 회전교차로의 효과를 유지할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 결과적으로 진입교통량이 200-500대/시 이하, 좌회전 비율이 20-40%, 보행신호시간이 15초 이상인 경우 평균적으로 50m의 최소이격거리가 필요한 것으로 산정되었다. 본 연구에서의 회전교차로 인접 신호횡단보도 이격거리 산정결과는 어린이보호구역과 인접한 도로에서 최소 40m이상의 이격거리를 고려한다면 회전교차로의 설치 가능을 확인하였다.

Since the application of roundabouts by 2010 have been started, more than 350 roundabouts were installed in Korea. Recently the types of constructed roundabouts become various, and the intersection conditions for installing roundabouts were also various. However, there were some difficulties to install roundabouts around school zone due to safety problems. In this study, appropriate distance from adjacent signal crosswalks to roundabouts were estimated for securing pedestrian safety and operation efficiency around school zone. With the analyses, the minimum distance standard was suggested to obtain operational effectiveness of roundabout according to traffic volume, traffic flow, pedestrian green time and secures pedestrian safety and convenience. In this paper, average delay of roundabout as various length of distances between an adjacent crosswalk and a roundabout as different pedestrian signal times, traffic volumes, traffic flow rates were analyzed. Through this study, it was found that about four times of delay in a roundabout was generated if there was adjacent signal crosswalk. However if there is enough distance between an adjacent crosswalk and a roundabout, the value of increasing delay on roundabouts with adjacent a signalized crosswalk can be considerably reduced. Critical value of the distance between a roundabout and a signal crosswalk in case of roundabouts within 200-500 vehicle/hour/lane entry traffic flow, 20-40% of left turn traffic, and over 15 seconds pedestrian green time was about 50 meters. In conclusion, if there is minimum 40 meter distance from roundabouts, adjacent signal crosswalks can be installed and operated for students' safety around school zone.
