ABSTRACT
This study evaluates vehicle speed characteristics and their effects on traffic control and roadway safety by presenting a thorough analysis of spot speed data gathered on Benin bye pass road, Benin City. In order to gather real-time speed data, the pavement markings method was used for speed measurement along a chosen section of the Benin bye pass road. The results provide information on average speeds, variability, speed distributions, and speed limit compliance. The study also looks at variables like traffic volume, route shape, and ambient conditions that affect how fast people drive. The findings' ramifications are examined in relation to traffic calming techniques, road safety, and the efficacy of speed enforcement tactics. The comprehension of spot speed characteristics is enhanced by this research, which also helps to guide decisionmaking for better traffic control, roadway design, and safety programs. Spot speed pavement marking techniques entails applying painted lines or symbols to the road surface to designate the particular location where cars are measured for speed. A stopwatch is used for recording the time taken for each vehicle to pass through the markings. Considering the distance covered and the time taken, the speed of each vehicle can be calculated. To find trends, patterns, and outliers in vehicle speeds, data analysis techniques such as statistical analysis and visualization were used. This project has presented the basic concept of speed studies. Speed characteristics such as mean speed, Modal speed, pace, Standard deviation and different percentile of speeds were gotten. The upper and lower limit of the given road is gotten to be 55km/hr and 45km/hr respectively.
