Abstract:
Traffic surveys play a keyrole in ensuring the traffic characteristics and
providing controlled and safe movement of vehicles. This study was aimed at analysing
the traffic characteristics and to suggest the traffic control measures on PazhaniBypass, Dindigul. The location has three major highway intersections, namely, NH 183
(Chennai to Theni), NH 83 (Pazhani Road), and NH 44 (Dindigul By-Pass Flyover).
Traffic census was carried out on the selected location, which includes traffic volume
study, spot speed survey, traffic capacity study, origin and destination study and
Parking study. From the traffic census reports, the reason for heavy traffic flow during
peak hours was evaluatedand it has been suggested to control the traffic flow and
regulate safe movement by providing signals and rotary-intersections.
