Introduction

During the last years the motorization has been increased significantly and
continuously. The developing vehicle technologies have promoted the change of the
traffic characteristics and the easier, faster movement, controllability of vehicles.
These effects modify the methodology of geometrical and traffic analysis of
intersections as well. For example the gaps and because of it the delays are
decreasing. For accurate result the supplementary factors should be taken into
account precisely. The traffic operation could be influenced most significantly by
signalization. This process leads to the modification of the behavior of the
participants of the motorized traffic stream. In this way the headway, the critical
gaps of movements, the reaction time are decreasing. To the realization of the
advantages of signalized intersections such as decreasing of the number of
accidents, of the delays of the minor movements and of the harmful environmental
effects, more detailed traffic and geometrical data, new analysis processes could be
necessary.

Conclusion
Signalised intersections with fully controlled cross-traffic light phases indicate to
drivers when to enter the intersection, thus removing the problem for them of
selecting safe gaps in the traffic flow. This reduces crashes between turning vehicles
and oncoming through traffic.
Signalised turn lanes can also be helpful where there is a history of crashes between
turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the road. Signalised turn lanes are
created by installing additional display lanterns facing the chosen approach; red,
yellow and green lanterns for the through movements and for example, red, yellow
and green turn arrows. Dedicated turn lanes should be provided if they don't
already exist at the site.
Furthermore, based on our result the signalized intersection on UTHM signalised
show that the traffic were very pad between 11 am until 11.45 am but it still can
accommodate the traffic though the signalised intersection with indirectly benefic of
signalised intersection that been construct for UTHM signalised help to reduce
crashes between turning vehicles and oncoming through traffic, reduce severity of
crashes throughout the intersection and vehicle-pedestrian crashes.
Finally, for UTHM signalised need to be implementation for the accommodate future
traffic with is the value of traffic increasing year by year such as adding turn signals
reduces intersection capacity, also it may be necessary to lengthen turn lanes to fit
longer traffic queues and lastly other signal changes can be used to improve
intersection when signalised turn are implemented.
