Abstract
To reduce traffic congestion at an at-grade intersection near a big city, one method is construction a flyover bridge at the old junction in two directions on one of the main highways. The flyover facilitates the traffic flow in the directions of the bridge, but the infrastructure cannot fully solve all of the problems especially on the secondary road. The traffic signal still uses the same control as the “before” situation, that is the fixed time control plan. Ahmedabad is the seventh largest metropolitan and fifth largest city in India. This paper tries to evaluate flyover performance in terms of user benefits.
