Planning of orderly, smooth and safe movement of traffic is vital for effective functioning of towns and cities. However, the level of traffic congestion has been increasing dramatically over the years. Therefore, urban traffic and transport planners are required to make important decisions to mitigate the alarming traffic situation.
This manual, consisting of nine chapters, covers issues on data collection and data analysis, procedures and techniques on road geometrics, traffic volume, road intersection, parking, road capacity, level of service, pedestrian circulation, traffic management measures, public transportation, and road/traffic safety.
Hopefully, Â this manual would provide adequate understanding and insights into data collection and analysis on traffic situation, thus benefiting students, town planners, and those involved in the sector.
