3.1 Selection of study area

1. We have identified a perfect spot for doing this field work. We have chosen in front of the bus stop at Polytechnics heading to Slim River.

2. We decided to do at there because it situated far away from road shoulder so it easy and safe for us to observe and captured the time elapsed.

3.2 Setting up study length

1. We chose 54 m of study length because the traffic stream average speed in front of Polytechnics Sultan Azlan Shah is 60km/h.

2. We used cone as a marker so it will easy to capture the speed limit when the vehicles pass by the marker.

3. Three of our group members were assigned to measure and put the cone at the road.

1. All of our group members were assigned a different role in this field work.

2. There are two observers, two data collector, two stop watchers and another person was assigned to take a picture of this field work.

3. We have divided into three persons per team. The first team was assigned to take the time elapsed from the north bound direction and another team was assigned to take the time elapsed from the south bound direction.

4. The first observer from the first team was used the technic of waving hand to the first stop watcher to give the signal of vehicles passing by the first marker. The first stop watcher starts to take the time until the vehicle passing the second marker. The time was then stopped.

    The aim of this experiment is to evaluate the amount of drivers that actually stop at a stop sign. I hypothesize that majority of drivers would come to a complete stop no matter on the age of the driver, gender of the driver, the type of car, how many people are in the car and what the weather was like. To carry out this experiment, two observation sessions were made on two different days; one was done on a nice sunny day with temperatures around 63 degrees, the second was done on a day that it was rainy and chilly with temperatures around 51 degrees. The first observation session took 1 hour and 30 minutes the second took 1 hour and 15 minutes. The intersection that was chosen for the experiment is right in front of my house and can be observed with an unobstructed view and none of the drivers could see me observing them.…

    The at-grade intersection form over 90% of the road network in the nation’s highway system. It plays an important role in the road network, where traffic flows in different directions converge. It is imperative that where two or more roads meet, there is always a need to make a provision for intersections design in other to channel traffic into different streams. Due to several interaction that takes place between road users and traffic control systems, capacity of intersections are always much lower than that of their approach carriage way. This often results into serious delay due to reduction in capacity. Report shows that the nation’s population has increased seriously from the last census conducted, so also is the population of resident of Akure metropolis. This, however, increased the vehicle ownership and traffic volume in the links has increased dramatically due to continuous high speed growth of her economy, which causes traffic congestions and often results into serious delay of the road users. The transport infrastructure put in place in the city of Akure hasn’t been able to ameliorate traffic congestion in the city, especially at the city center. The improvement in the income of civil servant and the windfall arising from it to the private sector also has shown that there is rapid rate at which people bought vehicles. This has brought increase in vehicle within the state. With the increasing trend of vehicle, it is certain that the design volume of most intersections wouldn’t be able to cater for the present traffic situation especially during the peak periods of the day. This constitute to the delay experience often at the city’s intersections.…
