The graduation thesis analyses the three-way intersection. First part presents the existing condition. In the next step there is technical analysis of the road elements and other factors with major effects on traffic. An overview of accidents is given, and traffic is counted. Main problems of the intersection are defined. For reconstruction of crossing are given three different solutions. First one suggests traffic light installation. This solution is meaningless because there would be flow problems and congestion in the rush hours. Other two solutions are described in more detail. First one suggests construction of MAL (median acceleration lane). In Slovenia there is no rules and recommendations for MAL construction. Big emphasis is done on MALs length. The length depends on the traffic loads and ability of vehicles to accelerate. As third option two roundabouts are presented. They are described in more details. All solutions are drawn in AutoCAD on orthophoto pads for easier visual representation.
