Management of Traffic
Management of road traffic refers to the coordinated efforts and strategies implemented to effectively control and regulate the flow of vehicles, pedestrians, and other modes of transportation on roadways. It involves the application of various techniques, technologies, and policies to ensure smooth and safe movement of traffic, mitigate congestion, minimize accidents, and optimize road network utilization. Traffic management may include measures such as traffic signal control, lane markings, speed limits, road signs, traffic calming measures, parking management, and public transportation planning. It also encompasses the use of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and data-driven approaches to monitor and manage traffic patterns, analyze data, and make informed decisions to improve traffic flow and reduce delays. Effective traffic management is crucial in urban areas where traffic volumes are high, and efficient transportation is essential for economic growth and quality of life.
