Özet:

 Intersections are road traffic infrastructure on highways installed to help settle directional movement that could result in conflict while vehicular trips are made. Evaluation of the challenges faced by different automobile users at the Araromi junction A three Leg at-grade Intersection located in Akure is the main objective of this paper. To achieve this objective, traffic flow data were collected on the spot by video recording and then the data were manually counted. While, the highway Capacity manual 2010 methodology was adopted to analyse The entry flow rates, Potential Capacities, Movement Capacities, Movement Control Delay, Approach Intersection Control and 95th Percentile Quene Length of the intersection. Findings shows that an average entry flow rate of 357 pch occurs for all the legs of the intersection, the North bound left turning movement of the intersection was not within the allowable limit, the average potential capacity by lane for the intersection is 445 pch, and the average movement capacity by lane 473 Pch, the various legs of the intersection has a level of service of A and C except the left turning minor street movement that has an F LOS. Due to the influence of high traffic flow around the intersection, the analysis of the real-time traffic flow results reveals the need to diverge the high right turning movement into other route to cater for low left turning movement causing delay and poor LOS and a need to introduce Signal on the intersection in other to improve on her functionality.
