Step 1
Answer
Area 1: Intersection at Right Background
Area 2: Parking Lot Overflow at Left Side
Step 2

Evidence from the aerial photograph shows vehicles queuing at the traffic signals, indicating that traffic often exceeds the intersection's capacity. The convergence of multiple routes adds to the issue, leading to increased stopping time. Additionally, nearby commercial establishments likely generate high vehicle volumes, contributing to the congestion observed.

By replacing the traffic signals with a roundabout, traffic management can be significantly improved, benefiting both local commuters and businesses.
