Tactical urbanism strategies to enhance the safety for all road users at Karla Phata near Lonavala on the NH-48 highway. The junction is the access point to the Ekvira Devi temple, historic Karla caves & Visapur fort and residential developments.

A 3 day detail traffic survey was conducted to understand the traffic volume, pattern, conflict points and user experience at the intersections. Based on this a conceptual and detail design was prepared to address the critical issues observed during the survey.

1 month trial was then conducted to test the proposed design along with a similar 3day traffic survey to compare the before and after impact of the design. As a result of the proposed design, the speeds at the intersection was brought down by 24%.
