Development of New Transportation System for Lal Chowk Srinagar Using Road Markings and Poloview Intersection Design as Per Indian Practice

Road surface marking is any kind of device or material that is used on a road surface in order to convey official information; they are commonly places with road marking machines (or road marking equipment, pavement marking equipment). They can also be applied in other facilities used by vehicles to mark parking spaces or designate areas for other uses. Road surface markings are used on paved roadways to provide guidance and information to drivers and pedestrians. Uniformity of the markings is an important factor in minimizing confusion and uncertainty about their meaning, and efforts exist to standardize such markings across borders. However, countries and areas categorize and specify road surface markings in different ways — white lines are called white lines mechanical, non-mechanical, or temporary. They can be used to delineate traffic lanes, inform motorists and pedestrians or serve as noise generators when run across a road, or attempt to wake a sleeping driver when installed in the shoulders of a road. Road surface marking can also indicate regulation for parking and stopping. Polo-View intersection lies in the heart of Srinagar city which is the summer capital of the state of Jammu & Kashmir in India. This intersection is a place of main commercial activity of the state (Central Business District) and has a historic, cultural and tourism importance .A detailed investigation of the said intersection is done and all the parameters are calculated and evaluated. Based upon the traffic flow there are many possible solutions to the Intersection Control. Traffic flow curves between major and minor roads are used for evaluations. Based upon these curves there are many solutions and each one is weighted
