The invention discloses a method for setting a free turning area based on a symmetrical-phase unbalanced
traffic flow intersection, which comprises the following steps of: 1, setting a free turning area in front of an entrance lane stop line of a fixed direction area, i.e., on the side, facing an intersection, of the entrance lane stop line of the fixed direction area; and 2, establishing a control scheme of a fixed direction area entrance lane
signal lamp set and a free turning area
signal lamp set, wherein the fixed direction area entrance lane
signal lamp set is used for indicating a
vehicle control scheme behind the entrance lane stop line of the fixed direction area, the free turning area
signal lamp set is used for indicating a
vehicle control scheme of the free turning area. According to the invention, the entrance lanes of the free turning area are additionally arranged at the intersection, so that the number of vehicles passing through the intersection at each phase is increased in a permeable manner. More selectable routes are provided for vehicles at the intersection, the turning requirement of intersection traffic is met, the
delay time of the intersection can be obviously shortened when the
signal timing period of the intersection is long, the vehicles can enter the intersection in an orderly turning mode, and the traffic jam condition of a large-flow lane is effectively relieved.
