| Abstract | Intersections are the most complex locations where the road users face a lot of delay. They are also known to be the most congested part of the roadways which is prone to several kinds of accidents. Traffic control signals are the optimum form of intersection control. Traffic warrant analysis were conducted by using the guidelines of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for streets and highways based on the 2009 edition, US Department of Transportation. The practitioners developed the traffic signal warrants in order to establish consistency between the administrations regarding the conditions related to the installation of the traffic signals. The main role of these traffic signal warrants is to prepare an analysis process with required data collection and observance to consider the installation of a traffic signal at an intersection. There are nine traffic signal warrants as specified by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2009. Each of the warrant describe a minimum threshold(s) that must be present before further analysis is to be conducted. From this study, the conclusions were made in order to find out whether the intersections of the study areas were justified or not for the installation of traffic control signals. |
