INTRODUCTION
2. OBJECTIVE
i. To determine the capacity and the LOS for the unsignalised interception
3. LEARNING OUTCOME
5. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Traffic can operate smoothly when the rate of flow is less than at capacity, but
excessive delay and congestion can occur when the rate of flow is at or near capacity. In
planning and design of highway facilities, the principal purpose is to design or plan
facilities that will operate at flow rates below their optimum rates. However, this
objective can be achieved only if a good estimate of the optimum flow of a facility can be
made. Inefficient junction operations can cause severe traffic congestion, thus affecting
the surrounding environment. There are several factors that need to be considered
including the safety of road users and adequacy of road infrastructure. Long-standing
traffic woes received very little attention despite the huge investment that has been spent
in developing and enhancing expertise in traffic and transportation engineering.
In this road traffic study, three (3) problems need to be tackled in order to solve
traffic congestion, safety and related environmental issues such as:

Table 3.0 LOS Criteria for Unsignalized Intersections
1 417.5 A
2 421.5 A
5 793.5 A
Summary of the results obtained between calculation according to the guide and
SIDRA Intersection is as below:
2 A A
5 A A
Based on the summary, it is known that the LOS obtained from the calculation
using the guide is the same as SIDRA Intersection software.
9. CONCLUSION
From the discussion, we can conclude that the junction capacity study is
important to evaluate existing traffic conditions and highway systems deficiencies so we
can proposed the changes on capacity and traffic condition/ The level of Service (LOS) at
the selected junction is categorized as Category A because it has little or no delay. This
can be observed from the site observation and also the software calculation. Therefore,
any improvement is not required for the time being because the road is in a good
condition and wont create problems for the users.
