The way on the earth surface to move from a point to another is called a Road. The web of Road inside a city / system, is called
Road Network.

CHARECTERISTICS OF INTERSECTION
It is not the wide roads that increase the roadway capacity ,rather it is the Intersection that : Reduces Congestion, Increases roadway Capacity and Promotes Safety for vehicles and pedestrians.

CHARECTERISTICS OF INTERSECTION
In a road traffic system, intersections are one of the important bottlenecks. Which interrupt smooth flow of traffic and thereby cause delays.

CHARECTERISTICS OF INTERSECTION
To avoid unnecessary delay or to get an efficient traffic flow movement, these intersections need to be planned and designed properly and carefully. Along with the appropriate road network and geometry, the necessary traffic control devices also need to be applied wisely.

INTERSECTIONS CLASSIFICATION
Intersection can be classified in following categories:1)3 Legged Intersection (T and Y type) 2)Staggered Intersection 3)Four Legged intersection/Cross Roads-- Rotary Intersection Mini Round About Uncontrolled intersection Controlled Intersection-- Signalized intersection Priority Controlled Intersection
4)Multi-legged Intersection

PRESENT CONDITION OF DHAKA CITY Main cause of these hazardous situation of Dhaka city--a) b) c) d) e) Inappropriate / ill planned road network inside the Dhaka city. Faulty layout of the intersections. Inappropriate synchronization of traffic signals in road network. Arbitrary setting of signal time / phase. Poor policing activities in signal control.

Main causes of traffic congestion in our intersections (Dhaka City) mainly because of--a) Insufficient traffic data, b) Ill planned / controlled traffic signal, c) Inappropriate road network and d) Mismanaged traffic control by police.

PROBLEMS IN SIGNAL AT INTERSECTION a) b) c) d) Manual operation by police. Irrational distribution of signal phases time. Increase delay and queue. Decreases the Level of Service of intersection.
