Maintenance & Protection of Traffic at Workzone

  Anuj Bhatt

Maintenance and Protection of Traffic (MPT) is the process of maintaining the traffic and protecting the road users from traffic congestion problem and giving them safe and comfortable journey through an active work zone. In India, Traffic movement is haphazardious and that enhances the accident ratio as well as cause delay in construction at workzone place. Therefore it should be done to reduce numerous problems related to traffic and safety at working site. Moreover, proper study on Maintenance and Protection of Traffic (MPT) and its application on site will result in less traffic congestion, safe travel through the work zone and less fuel consumption and decrease in pollution. Maintenance and Protection of Traffic (MPT) at working zone can be achieved by the help of various traffic control devices and by providing proper detours through the work zone. This project is to study various traffic control problems, which can arise when construction is on progress on busy corridors and to suggest possible solutions which can reduce these problems. Main objective of study is to provide safe and comfortable journey and to maintain the traffic congestion problem near the construction site.
