Avenue De La Liberté
Avenue de la Liberté is a street in the Gare quarter of Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. Following significant alterations to its layout during renovation works, which occurred between 2018 and 2021, the avenue is separated into a dedicated bidirectional two-lane tramway on its eastern-side, followed by a two-lane one-way arterial road for motor vehicle traffic heading south towards Luxembourg station, and a bidirectional dedicated cycle-path on its western-side. All this is flanked by two wide tree-lined paved pedestrian footpaths. Prior to the works, which formed part of Luxembourg City's efforts to reintroduce tram transport, the avenue was a four-lane arterial road for motor vehicles with a one way designation for all traffic, excepting public buses. Route At its north end, the Avenue de la Liberté meets the Adolphe Bridge, which acts as a route for tram, motor vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic over the Pétrusse valley to join the Boulevard Royal in the city centr ...

Tram Stops
A tram stop, tram station, streetcar stop, or light rail station is a place designated for a tram, streetcar, or light rail vehicle to stop so passengers can board or alight it. Generally, tram stops share most characteristics of bus stops, but because trams operate on rails, they often include railway platforms, especially if stepless entries are provided for accessibility. However, trams may also be used with bus stop type flags and with mid-street pavements as platforms, in street running mode. Examples Most tram or streetcar stops in Melbourne and Toronto and other systems with extensive sections of street-running have no associated platforms, with stops in the middle of the roadway pavement. In most jurisdictions, traffic cannot legally pass a tram or streetcar whose doors are open, unless the tram is behind a safety zone or has a designated platform. On the other hand, several light rail systems have high-platform stops or stations with dedicated platforms at rail ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trams In Luxembourg
The first generation of trams in Luxembourg ran from 1875 to 1964, before being withdrawn from service and the tramways removed.

Street
A street is a public thoroughfare in a built environment. It is a public parcel of land adjoining buildings in an urban context, on which people may freely assemble, interact, and move about. A street can be as simple as a level patch of dirt, but is more often paved with a hard, durable surface such as tarmac, concrete, cobblestone or brick. Portions may also be smoothed with asphalt, embedded with rails, or otherwise prepared to accommodate non-pedestrian traffic. Originally, the word ''street'' simply meant a paved road ( la, via strata). The word ''street'' is still sometimes used informally as a synonym for ''road'', for example in connection with the ancient Watling Street, but city residents and urban planners draw a crucial modern distinction: a road's main function is transportation, while streets facilitate public interaction.

Arterial Road
An arterial road or arterial thoroughfare is a high-capacity urban road that sits below freeways/motorways on the road hierarchy in terms of traffic flow and speed. The primary function of an arterial road is to deliver traffic from collector roads to freeways or expressways, and between urban centres at the highest level of service possible. As such, many arteries are limited-access roads, or feature restrictions on private access. Because of their relatively high accessibility, many major roads face large amounts of land use and urban development, making them significant urban places. In traffic engineering hierarchy, an arterial road delivers traffic between collector roads and freeways. For new arterial roads, intersections are often reduced to increase traffic flow. In California, arterial roads are usually spaced every half mile, and have intersecting collector(s) and streets. Some arterial roads, characterized by a small fraction of intersections and driveways compared to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
