Improving Traffic Flow in Emerging Cities: A SIDRA Intersection Based Traffic Signal Design

Intersections in urban centers, especially those without any form of signalization, are accident hotspots. This, therefore, calls for ef-fective and efficient traffic management at the intersections improved safety flow. This study aimed to improve flow Gaa-Akanbi intersection Ilorin, Nigeria, using a signal scheme. A volume geometric features survey was carried out intersection.
