Summary

A study at Taxila, Pakistan, identifies critical traffic congestion issues at unsignalized intersections along the N-5 highway, where complex roadway geometries exacerbate problems like accidents and high operational costs. The research quantifies these challenges through traffic flow analysis, aiming to assess system performance and its interaction with land use activities. By deriving actionable insights from traffic data, the study proposes solutions to improve efficiency, offering recommendations for policy changes and infrastructure adjustments—such as banning heavy vehicles during peak hours or expanding road capacity—to mitigate congestion and enhance safety.
