Abstracts: The revolution in the automobile industry and liberalized economy has led to tremendous increase in the vehicle ownership levels. This has resulted in changing traffic characteristics on road network. As we all know that the rate of transportation is increasing day by day, but its regulation is not done properly. The main problem is congestion of traffic at any intersection of particular city, mainly during peak hours like in morning and evening. People face lots of problem due to traffic, but instead of fighting against it, they are getting used to it and co-operate with it. In this project an attempt has been made to analyse the changing traffic composition trends, speed characteristics and travel patterns. The knowledge of traffic volume is an important basic input required for planning, analysis and operation of roadway. In this project, we are going to propose a proper traffic flow control at intersection and proper determination of signals. This method includes proper planning on one hand and its regulation and control on other hand. The survey was done by manual counting method. During survey various problems were recorded and their probable solutions were identified.
