Abstract:

The phenomenon of traffic saturation experienced by intersections and roads leading to those intersections and the areas connecting them, has become a daily phenomenon experienced by road users and intersections.It is a problem that all intersections of the city of Baghdad suffer from because of the suffering of all roads from the problem of heavy roads in Baghdad, which is traffic congestion, a phenomenon that has become part of the life of Iraqi society and as a result of the limited solutions available as a result of the conflict of most of the proposed projects with the infrastructure of the city of Baghdad, in addition to the high financial cost of their implementation, As well as the development of new residential areas and commercial activities in places that prevent the implementation of some of the proposed projects, especially that this phenomenon exceeded expectations and studies devoted to the basic design of the city of Baghdad after the events of 2003 as a result of the development and economic openness that the country witnessed and the resulting increase in the number of vehicles in a disproportionate manner and the absorption of roads for them, in addition To the increase in population numbers and the expansion and emergence of new residential areas and the consequent activities and services that exacerbated this problem.Through our research and the importance of intersections in the flow of vehicles in the roads leading to the intersection and the surrounding areas, the study sought to determine the effectiveness and success of the traffic performance of the intersection after diversion into a bridge, in terms of the ease of vehicle flow, the lack of waiting time for one vehicle, and the organization of movements for the different directions of the intersection.
