CONCLUSION

Based on the data collected for 1 hour intersection signalized traffic observation at

Perwira Residential College intersection, the following conclusion can be summarized in

the following table below:

Phase I II III IV

Class 1 (Motorcycles) 264 0.33 87.12

Class 2 (Car) 487 1.00 487.00

Class 3 (Vans & Medium Trucks) 55 1.75 96.25

Class 4 (Heavy Trucks & Buses) 85 2.25 191.25

Total (BTL1) 891 861.62

a) Level of service in each lane at every intersection consist mostly at F level.

b) During the peak hour, we can concluded that Batu Pahat approach - through, left turn

at Lane 1 consists the highest level of flow which is 861.62 pcu/hr. This is due the

highest number of traffic volume which is 891 veh/hr.

c) Recommendation had been suggested to improve traffic flow, which are:

- traffic signalization

- lane configuration
