TRAFFIC
MANAGEMENT
|
Everybody knows the volume of
traffic on today's roads is increasing, thereby,
reducing the capacity of the road which causes delays and congestion.
"Traffic Management" is the termed as "ways and measures of
adjusting, accommodating
or adapting the use of road space available without building new ones".
The key objective of
introducing traffic management measures is to achieve one of the following:
 |
Improve the flow of traffic, or specific
types of traffic (e.g. bus/cycle priority measures). |
|
|
Reduce the amount of crashes, therefore,
reducing or eliminating casualties. |
|
|
Enhance the environment by guiding
traffic along certain types of route. |
|
|
Aid the safety of users and persons
whilst maintaining the highway. |
|
|
Provide clear information to the road
user, to aid their journey. |
