Traffic Survey
Precise surveys, studies, and scientific analysis of traffic is necessary for traffic engineering and find wide applications in anticipating future requirements of roads, the advancement of existing facilities, design aspects, pavement design, and traffic guidelines and control.
Traffic surveys, better-called traffic census, covers all kinds of traffic, size, and weight, traffic flow, traffic volume per hour, and per day, including seasonal variations/annual variations, distribution in different parts of a road network, and distribution in different directions at intersections.
Traffic volume counts can be obtained by the following methods:
Manual Method
Automatic Counters
- Pneumatic Counters
- Electrical Counters
- Photo-Electric Cell Counters
Moving Observer Method
Presentation of Traffic Volume Study Data
The information acquired from traffic volume are introduced in various structures for coming to suitable end results relying upon the reason for examines:
(a) Hourly, daily, weekly, seasonal, and annual variations of traffic in the form of charts or graphs.
(b) Annual average daily traffic (AADT) of the total traffic as well as classified traffic is determined.
- Concept of PCU.
- If measured for a short period, not for an entire year, is known as Average Daily Traffic (ADT).
(c) Design hourly volume of traffic
(d) Traffic flow-lines are drawn through the route with the thickness of lines being proportional to the traffic volumes.
(e) Traffic flow distribution at road intersections

Meridian lines, in addition to marking lanes, provide necessary guidelines, instructions, and restrictions on roads. Yellow and white are the most common ones. There is no difference in the roads marked by yellow or white lines as such, but only the instructions given by them are different. Their relative occurrence varies from country to country.
Soild white line: a solid white line along the curb or between two lanes means that switching lanes and overtaking is disallowed until the line changes.
Broken white line: a broken white line is found between two lanes or in the middle of the road. It means that switching lanes or overtaking is allowed and safe.
Solid yellow line: a solid yellow line between two lanes means essentially the same thing as a solid white line. A solid yellow line along the curb means that parking at the side of the road is disallowed.
Double solid yellow line: a double solid yellow line down the middle or between two lanes means that overtaking or switching lanes is dangerous and is not advisable although not disallowed. A double solid yellow line along the curb means that a specific waiting time by the side of the road is allowed, but parking and leaving is not allowed.
Double yellow solid and broken line: This is a kind of double meridian line found in the middle between two lanes with one line solid and one broken. It means that drivers on the side of the solid line are disallowed from changing lanes or overtaking, but drivers on the side of the broken line are allowed switching lanes and overtaking.
