Traffic System Management for “Tulkarem” An Najah National University Engineering College Civil Engineering Department Graduation Project Traffic System Management for “Tulkarem” Prepared by: Jehad Ahmad Jallad Mohammad Takrouri Mohammad Al-Dana Supervisor : Sameer Abu-Eisheh

Outline Introduction Methodology Analysis Design Recommendation

Introduction Tulkarem city is located at the northwestern part of the West Bank , It had a population of approximately 67,804. The traffic volumes in this city are considered to be high . It requires a complete traffic management plan to make better use of the existing roadway network structure and to keep an acceptable level of service for the operation for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Map of Tulkarem

Problem Definition Congestion Problems Delay Problems These are major problems that can be clearly seen in the CBD area. Delay Problems These are other problems that result of congestion in the CBD area. Parking and pedestrian Problems The parking capacity in the Tulkarem city is limited. Random parking observed while there is lack of parking control and management Geometric Problems These problems are obvious because no much has been done to improve the geometry of the intersections. Safety Problems These problems are noticed in the study area, because the right of way is not clear for conflict points at intersections

A B C Objectives Create short-term manage to the current problem suggest and examine alternatives to solve current problems, B Changes in the geometric design of the intersections could be necessary to better serve the movement of traffic. C

Study area The Central Business District (CBD) is considered as the core of any city

CBD Area Intersections Jamal Abd Al-Nasser Intersection Tulkarem Camp Intersection Industrial School Intersection Governorate Intersection Al- Jallad Intersection Intersections Study Shwiekeh Roundabout Khadori Roundabout Tulkarem CBD Intersection Ihsan Samarah Intersection Alkarajat Intersection

Methodology Tabular Data Collection Data Analysis Traffic counts Level of Service Maps of the study area Inventory studies Tabular

Level of Service (LOS) 1 2 3 Level of Service Analyses (LOS) were conducted using HCS 3.0 as an input file, obtaining a reports file Currently no signalized intersections are in operation within the study area The output is presented in Figure (4.1) along with peak hour volumes on the wall .

Counting Period Counting was performed along the day in Nablus Street during (7:00 AM – 4:00 PM) hours. Counting was performed at Industrial School intersection from (7:00-11:00) AM and (1:00-3:00) PM which is considered to be representive of traffic volume pattern at the intersections in the Tulkarem city The count was done on all intersections during the peak period for two hours; one in the morning at (9:00 - 11:00) AM and or one in the evening at (1:00 - 3:00) PM. The Unified Peak Hour on all intersections is (1:15–2:15 ) PM

Analysis of the Collected Data The result of counting in Nablus street = 6758 veh/day during (7:00 – 4:00) hours ,which is equal 9 hours. X = No. of vehicle per hour in the intersection /total volume in the Nablus Street (1/X) = Expansion Factor Which use to determine Representive Day Time Traffic for other intersections The total volume during 6 hrs count at industrial School Intersection, equal 7526 veh/hr and PHV = 1521

Intersection Unified Peak Hour

Traffic Signal Warrant Traffic control signals should not be installed unless one or more of the signal warrants are met 1175

Parking Study The parking conditions in Tulkarem city are sophisticated due to narrow streets and places The period during which the parking study is counted was (8:00 AM – 2:00 PM) in weekday, and the summary of results are : 1) Actual Supply = 2004 Sp-hr Which is equal to 2004 * 60 = 120,240 sp-min Σ (time x no. veh) = 67515 veh.min (for Total period) The stall parking are available about half. 2) Turn Over = 1.5838 veh/sp 3) Average Duration = 2.13 hrs/veh

Intersection Design Geometric Design Criteria: The design vehicles are (Passenger Car Single Unit, Bus, WB-15). - Lane width : lane with varies from (2.7-3.6) for different intersections based on average space. Sidewalks: The minimum sidewalk width is 1.2m; sidewalk widths of 2.4 m or greater may be needed in commercial areas. Minimum Turning Radii: design minimum turning radii were taken as11 m for single unit truck, and 5 meter for small crossing roads and passenger vehicles as the design vehicle.

Roadway Intersection Design and Improvements There are 10 intersections for which drawings depicting the recommended improvements have been prepared. Improvement at these intersection rang : widening of intersection approaches to provide additional travel lanes to parking prohibitions to accomplish the same purpose or to widen existing lanes where possible pavement marking. providing traffic control signs.

Intersection 1

Intersection 2 Cycle length : 100 sec Intersection LOS: C

Intersection 3 Cycle length: 120 sec Intersection LOS: E

Intersection 4 Cycle length: 120 sec Intersection LOS: D

Intersection 5 Cycle Length: 70 sec Intersection LOS: B

Intersection 6

Intersection 7 Cycle Length: 80 sec Intersection LOS: C

Intersection 8 Cycle Length: 90 sec Intersection LOS: D

Intersection 9 Cycle Length: 115 sec Intersection LOS: E

Intersection 10 Cycle Length: 80 sec Intersection LOS: C

Conclusion and Recommendation There are many problems related to the traffic and geometric conditions in Tulkarem roadway network that need to be analyzed to overcome the related traffic problems pertaining to the existing conditions. The improvements recommended in the TSM Study were evaluated and examined for the project traffic volume The timing plans for the warranted intersection were calibrated and evaluated to meet future traffic conditions. Public transportation in the Tulkarem city became organized after the establishment of a new garage  Parking in the Tulkarem city is a not major problem Pedestrian movement in the area of study  can not be ignored

Conclusion and Recommendation The vegetables market should be moved from the current location in the CBD, to facilitate the movement on Jamal Abed Al Nasser intersection and the rest of CBD area. This will have a positive impact on the golden market street. In future, this street should be for pedestrians only.
