Abstract

Traffic engineering is a branch of civil engineering that deals with safe, smooth, and timely transportation of people and goods on roadway mode of transportation. This smooth flow depends on various characteristics of traffic like traffic volume, speed, and density. After passage of some years of construction of a road, it no longer accommodates smooth flow of traffic because of various reasons like growth in population, growth in economy and increase in no. of vehicles. For these issues a traffic volume survey is carried out to check the congestion and traffic delays because of vehicles and based on the results preventive measures are suggested. Every year, millions of people lose their lives because of road accidents globally. Road safety awareness is an important factor when it comes to smooth passage of traffic. Improving road infrastructure is alone not enough for the safe transportation of goods and passengers, but proper knowledge of road signs and guidelines is also important. The conclusions of this study will be useful for regulating smooth and safe flow of traffic.
