When demand on a facility exceeds the capacity Congestion takes place.
The travel time or delay is in excess of that normally incurred under light or
free flow traffic condition.
The travel time or delay is in excess of agreed upon norm which may vary by
type of transport facility, travel mode, geographical location, and time of
day.
In the procedure for congestion management initially we have to find out the
root cause of congestion and finding out the remedies for managing the
congestion, updating the signalization if it is needed.
It is always better to use good signalization for minimizing impact of
congestion.
We can provide more space by making use of 'turn bays' if geometry permits.
Parking restrictions also help in congestion management on urban streets.
Now we will discuss some important strategies to manage the congestion on urban
streets.
Basically at street level congestion can be encountered by following ways,
- Signal based
- Non-signal based
