Abstract

Increase in population, explosive growth in the number of private vehicles which has increased the number of personalized vehicle, partly due to the absence of an efficient and reliable public transport system. The estimated urban population in 2011 was 13 lacs. The villages around city are growing ever faster. Steep increases in population of city itself and rapid growth of satellite town like Panchkula and Mohali is resulting in large number of trip making. The study was carried out on the midblock sections of major V-2 road (which includes Madhya Marg) of Chandigarh as that is the major arterial road and each sector is surrounded by V-2 or V 3 roads, with no buildings opening on to them. The peak hour volumes for Madhya Marg are too high so as to get accommodated in the roads. Traffic Congestion along Madhya Marg involves slower speeds and increased travel times, increases large no. accidents during peak hours.
