INSTRUCT FORM & TRAFFIC REGULATION MANAGEMENT

Traffic Control

• Control using a traffic light at the intersection.
• Limiting the use of the road to certain vehicle types (according to weight criteria, the speed and size of the vehicle).
• Limiting and controlling parking.
• Temporary regulations (due to festivals, sports and other)
• Regulation without strict enforcement will not achieve effective traffic management.

Turning Moving Barriers

• Right and left turn movements can affect the smooth ride and is one of the causes of accidents.
• Placing road barriers (flexible, rigid or semi rigid) can help divert traffic into the correct lane and to prevent collision between vehicles and dangerous obstacles.

One Way Street

• Can improve traffic flow round the city especially when the road network in the area has a network of roads and cut parallel to each other at right angles.
• Technique can increase the capacity of one-way streets every road in the road network and reduce the range of the change in flow at the intersection.
• By converting two-way route to a one-way path, conflict point substantially reduced.

Limit Vehicle Speed

• Reduced the number of accidents and their gravity when the vehicle speed is reduced.
• The type of speed limits:
  *Reasonable speed limit - according to the road conditions cuacadan.
  *Ultimate speed limit - set the highest and lowest speed limit allowed (rate 85      percentage)
  *The recommended speed limit - recommend the appropriate speed limit to the    driver (not used) on the curve.

Tidal Flow Method (TIDAL) 

• Most cities experience regular morning and evening rush during working days which increases the usage of private vehicles travelling back and forth to work.
• This will cause underutilization during off-peak hours and over utilization during peak hours in related to the width of the road.
• TFM is a traffic control method which opens and closes lanes on a roadway according to priority of traffic direction.

Road Marking

• Traffic marking is an object or device whether fixed or movable, or lines or marks on the road.
• This notation is used to provide information, requirements, restrictions or prohibitions on road users.
• It includes street signs, traffic signals, road surface markings, road studs and so on.
