Abstract: – According to the ground report only 20% of the total traffic volume at that area are utilizing the flyover and the remaining 80% of the traffic are using old roads. in order to utilize the flyover to the maximum extent certain diversions are required for the flyover at various junctions.
In this present case study of Visakhapatnam flyover i.e TELUGU THALLI flyover, we calculate the traffic volumes on the flyover and roads below it by conducting traffic studies Estimate the traffic movement directions at various intersections and produce a traffic flow map of the roads. With the help of obtained data we suggest certain diversions to the flyover at specific junctions which have dynamic traffic movement.
