Abstract:
One of the major issues currently facing developing countries is heavy urban traffic. Growing volumes of through traffic is often attributed to traffic flow challenges. To improve traffic flow in the city centre, bypass roads or alternative routes are being investigated. These Bypass/alternate routes divert through traffic away from town centers leaving local streets to local traffic. This paper aims to explore the feasibility of such a proposed route to serve as an alternative route or bypass to ease the traffic congestion in the cities of Kottayam and Changanassery in terms of expected divertible traffic. On the basis of the engineering survey and the traffic survey of the proposed route, the necessary improvements and the up gradation to two-lane standards are also recommended.
Keywords:
Alternate route, Traffic survey, Divertible traffic, Geometric design, Pavement composition, Cost estimate.
