| Abstract | ||||
| This paper was undertaken to investigate the relationships between speed and flow on urban arterial roads of Fayoum City. These roads serve some important areas in Fayoum City in Egypt. This research work was based on the traffic survey data eollected for Batal El-Salam and Ahmad Shawki Streets through 12 hours using moving car method. The traffic survey was carried out between 8.00 a.m. and 8.00 p.m. for every direction. The survey results indicate that the morning peak hour for Ahmad Shawki Street lies between 9.00 a.m. to 10.00 a.m.; while the afternoon peak lies between 15.00 to 16.00. The maximum traffic volume for both directions in this street was 8341 vehicle/hr. Also the morning peak hour for Batal El-Salam street in both directions lies between 9.00 a.m. to 10.00 a.m, which gives maximum volume 7927 vehicle/hr. In addition the maximum and minimum speeds of Ahmad Shawki Street were 38 km/hr. and 29 km/hr. respectively. While the maximum and minimum speeds of Batal El-Salam Street were 44 km/hr. and 25.7 km/hr. respectively. The collected data was analyzed by using the regression analysis. | ||||
