Essay:

The two maps illustrate how a city hospital was accessed in the years 2007 and 2010.
Overall, the hospital became easily accessible with changes to the road design over the period shown. The main changes include a large new bus station and two separate car parks for public and staff use.
In 2007 the city hospital was surrounded by a ring road and the hospital was reached from hospital road joining ring road from the south. There were six separate bus stops alongside hospital road and these were completely destroyed. In the meantime a whole new bus station was constructed to the west of hospital road.
The main alteration to the design of the road was the construction of two new roundabouts at the northern and southern ends of Hospital road. Two new roundabouts meant that bus station was accessed from two separate entrances and hospital road was mainly used by small vehicles. Finally, the existing carpark in the south east of the hospital, was restricted to staff use only, whereas a new carpark for public access only was built in the east of hospital.
