 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

Is an exclusive function such as

planning, organizing, directing,
supervising, coordinating, operating,
recording and budgeting traffic affairs.
It refers to activities undertaken by
a highway transportation agency to
improve:
1. Roadway safety,
2. Efficiency, and
3. Effectiveness of both providers
and consumers

 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

Also refers to all agencies having

responsibilities for ascertaining traffic
flow requirements, such as planning,
approving, funding, construction, and/
or maintaining public facilities for
such movement.
Also refers to all agencies
responsible for licensing, approving,
restricting, stooping, prohibiting, or

TWO DISTINCT TYPES OF TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
THAT ARE USED OR UTILIZE OF:

1. Traditional traffic
engineering tools or devices,
to regulate and control traffic,
such as traffic lights, traffic signs,
or pavement markings, traffic
island, and other devices that
could control or direct the flow of
traffic.

TWO DISTINCT TYPES OF TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
THAT ARE USED OR UTILIZE OF:

2. Advanced technology through

Intelligent Transport Systems
(ITS). Examples of the ITS are the
installation of road sensors for
emergency cars, global positioning
devices on motor vehicles, and road
sensors attached to traffic signal
lights.

 Major causes of Traffic Congestion- Based on studies conducted by
authorities.

1. Physical Inadequacy- this is characterized by lack of roads, narrow bridges, railroad

crossings, lack of traffic facilities, etc.

2. Poor Control Measures- This is characterized by ineffective mechanical control devices,

inefficient traffic officers, and poor implementation of traffic laws, rules and regulations.

3. Human Errors- Many traffic congestion are caused by slow drivers or poor driving habits,
pedestrian mistakes, officer's errors, poor planning, poor legislation; and traffic accidents which are
mostly attributed to human errors.

4. Poor Maintenance- Oftentimes motor vehicles are stalled traffic ways because of unrepaired
diggings, cracks on road pavement or unfinished road unfinished road pavement concreting. - This
can be attributed to inappropriate budget for the maintenance of the traffic facilities. On the other
hand, police should also report lights out, damage portion of the traffic way to expedite the action
from the concerned government offices.
 Specific Traffic Problems

Traffic managers and traffic control officers commonly encounter the following traffic-related problems:

1. Traffic Build-up - It is characterized by the gradual increasing of traffic users in a given portion of the
highway or trafficway.
2. Traffic Congestions - These are conditions on road network that occurs as use increases, and is
characterized by slower speeds, longer trip times, and increased vehicular queueing.
3. Traffic Jams (snarl-up) - These are situations in highways in which the movement of traffic users (motor
vehicles or pedestrians) is very slow or stationary.
4. Bottlenecks - These are narrow points or areas in highways where traffic congestions or traffic jams usually
occur or traffic may be held up.
5. Gridlocks - A state or condition of severe road congestion arising when continuous queues of vehicles
block an entire network of intersecting streets, bringing traffic in all directions to a complete standstill. These
traffic blockages are usually caused interlocking of intersection grids.

and/or death.
7. Collisions -These are incidents or instances of one moving traffic unit or person striking violently against
another.
 Scopes of Traffic Management

1. All public surface facilities traversing and parking and all types of conveyances for
the movement of persons and things. This includes the provisions on the controlling
traffic flow as well as provisions for the allotments of parking lots or parking places.
2. All agencies having responsibilities for ascertaining traffic flow requirements,
planning, approving, funding, construction and/or maintaining these public facilities for
such movements. This area include traffic planning committees, those involved in
traffic engineering, and the legislative bodies in the appropriations of funds.
3. All agencies responsible for licensing, approving, restricting, stopping, prohibiting or
controlling the sit
