Abstract: This project evaluates issues connected with vehicular movement moving through urban road at intersection. In cities like Kolhapur, which facing many problems such as frequent occurrence of traffic Congestion which result in delay, loss of time, increasing fuel consumption, increasing noise pollution and frequent interruption in traffic flow. Maulicha Putla is one of the busiest intersection in Kolhapur. This intersection faces many problems such as to traffic, collision of vehicles, long queue of number of vehicles due to traffic jam is created improper handling of traffic in peak hour. Improper location of central island (Maulicha Putla) causes there is no use of central island, due to this improper flow of traffic created. Vegetable Market, Bus stand, petrol pump are near to intersection due to this the abundant traffic is approaching to the intersection, so various problems created at intersection. Aim of this is to study of traffic problems rotary intersection at Maulicha Putla, which include site investigation (Pilot survey), measurement present geometry of intersection, followed by traffic volume count which is based onvideo graphic method, data collected at peak hours and volume conversion into PCU value (Passenger Car Unit).
Key words: Central island, peak hour, congestion, flow rate, traffic volume, capacity
