Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
The establishment of schools or other educational institutes near the intersection of an urban road is generally prohibited in developed, well planned cities. However, in developing countries like Bangladesh, there are many schools close to the intersections which contribute to considerable trip attraction during morning and evening peak. A questionnaire survey on school students reveal that 33% of the students use non-motorized transports and 28% of them use private car/taxi to make their school commuting trips. From video survey and manual counting method Maximum length of queue has been observed during 12:30 to 12:45 which is actually due to the school induced traffic and control delay at the approach near Wills Little Flower School is 51.492 sec/veh which is greater than delay of other time of the day. An effective school zoning policy including provisions for establishment of schools at a certain distance away from intersections can provide a long-term solution. Short-term solution can involve effective enforcement such as imposing case against illegal on street parking in front of school.
