Abstract: VicRoads inaccurately describes this project as a CFI even though it has no CFI crossovers. The proposed design has one Paraflow movement and 2 Thruturn movements. No provision is made for right turns from eastbound Swan unto southbound Hoddle. This is first of 4 intersections on Hoddle to be converted to 2-phase operation. VicRoads expects to convert all 4 intersections for a total of AU$60 million.
Abstract: This intersection is quite old. It has elements of quadrant roads, and seom grade separation for good measure. The "quadrants" are parallel to other roads, so do not look like normal quadrants. Operationally, they function much like quadrants are supposed to.
The approach to downtown effectively splits the roads to different areas of the CBD via the quadrant roadways.
