Abstract
This paper provides information on the configuration of the Elevated U-turn that is finally constructed along C5 as alternative to the initial C5/Kalayaan underpass and C5/Vargas-Lanuza overpass plans. It further gives an analysis on its expected performance as an infrastructure that will meet the current and future traffic demand. Specifically, the level of service at peak hours are computed and assessed. Further qualitative analysis discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the U-turn flyover. Several road safety issues have been identified with regard to the new facility and this review recommends some strategies to mitigate risks.
