Abstract

This paper presents the safety parameter with improvement traffic at rotary intersection of urban arterial road of Surat city. Surat city is rapidly growing city with daily increasing vehicular population. It creates traffic problem at peak hour. The aim of this paper to analysis and enhancing the traffic congestion and need to focus on design intersection urgent basis to solve the traffic problem at the junction. The traffic enhancing based on peak hour traffic volume data converting in PCU values as per IRC recommendation. Enhancing the rotary design parameter has been carried out with empirical formula and software analysis taken to managing the traffic flow at rotary intersection.
