Abstract

The city of Makkah receives a large number of vehicles belonging to the visitors and people performing Umrah especially during the period of Ramadan and Hajj. About 70% of these vehicles come along Makkah-Jeddah highway, one of the main entrances to Makkah, that linked with Umm Al-Qura road which leads directly to Al-Haram area. The aim of this study is to improve and ease the traffic movement and enhance the level of traffic safety along Umm Al-Qura road. This has been conducted by studying the engineering characteristics of umm Al-Qura road and its main intersections, studying the existing traffic condition along this road in both directions to and from Al-Haram and determining the peak lours and finally determining the level of service at these main intersections. The study has recommended several suitable recommendations to improve the existing traffic situation and ease the traffic movement along Umm Al Qura road such as: the necessity 10 operate and reprogram the time of the traffic signals for some intersections, to prevent the random and illegal parking along both sides of the road, the necessity to maintain road marking to direct drivers and enhance the level of traffic safety, and using the new techniques to develop the traffic movement along Umım Al-Qura road such as intelligence transportation systems and monitoring and controlling devices.
