The objective of this study is to determine the safety and operational effect of U-turns at unsignalized median openings. This paper addresses research results on access management strategies that increase U-turn volumes at unsignalized median openings that can be used safely and efficiently. The frequencies of accidents happening at low median openings and no satisfactory regression relationships relates to the fact on the alarming necessity of the volume of U-turn and left-turn maneuvers through the central opening to be developed. These Intersections are a composite region of a road section where vehicles can resolve to divergent directions. Traffic flow on the road has always been a dilemma on how to reach a destination at the earliest possible, at such situations the drivers do not follow traffic rules at signals especially, when red light is on and cross the intersection of the road. Due to these activites, rate of accidents are increasing day by day. Thereby, one individuals fault can affect the whole traffic mobility. In India, it is often not possible to extend full of the road on the ground due to area scarcity sideways as well as elevated constructions like metro via duct (flyover). Ever growing traffic volume and manual system of controlling intersection take off too many working hours on the road. Thus, this research points out to the fact on reducing congestion through existing roadway conditions and features an important aspect that, intersections are an integrated element of traffic system and can bring useful contribution in reducing vehicular delay due to traffic. Another likely problem associated in the city is, it follows the all-way stop control intersection resulting in a massive congestion of vehicles at peak hours, which makes it challenging for the traffic police to control the vehicle flow nimbly. Therefore, to address all the above concerns this paper provides an ideology on restricted flow of the traffic to which a driver has to necessarily abide the traffic rules at intersections, traffic signals without taking an alternative stream for red light at intersection and decrease the rate of accidents on road. Also, provided a way to increase length of traffic mobility and lessen travel time.
