Tactical urbanism strategies to enhance the safety for all road users at Khadi Machine Chowk near Pune on the NH-64 highway. The junction is in a semi-urban setting and is surrounded by commercial developments such as manufacturing units, retail stores etc 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.
